NHRA ProStock changes coming!

Change to the Pro Stock class could be a good thing in terms of sponsorship dollars and fan interest, but, as Alan pointed out, NHRA is opening a brand new can of worms. The engines are all different, the cars are aerodynamically different, etc. It will be interesting to see how those issues are handled. Performance-wise, it should be fun to watch. P.B. Candies went 7.85 at Indy over 1000 lbs. heavier than the current Pro Stock minimum. Granted, that was a 4.0L blower (as opposed to 2.3L or 2.9L on the FS cars), but that may very well end up being what those cars run in the new "Pro Stock" too. The rules will have to be much more liberal than FS to make the differentiation between the two obvious to Joe Blow fan as well.
