Pro stock NHRA unwanted child at the U.S Nationals

Yes finespline, you are correct. Ace chassis man Gary Jennings built some of the most efficient hemi cars ever (warfish cars), and his comp cars were the same quality. Same goes for Eastex, MPR, etc..

I guess we are going to have to love the subtlety of the smooth race car. No problem for me, they say its 10,000 RPM in pro stock right now.

I have always liked demo derbies, and within the last 5 years have decided these may be the last real hot rodders... in that they chop, grind, wrench, crunch, and then win or lose based on cave man like skills. Very entertaining, and really I do enjoy pro stock, and there should be many classes I can't afford. I am just a machinist after all.

When I go to the big races these days, I watch pro stock, Comp, SS, STK, and sometimes Super Street and the A/FD cars. The Super Comp dragsters are really not my cup of tea, and offer little in the way of entertainment.
