I’m sure most of the current nhra pro stock teams loved hearing that news.

7 years to late to save the class. All the IHRA engines are probably sold off and the racers moved on
1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27

It’s probably an effort to try and attract some “lower funded” teams to compete. I’m sure a used IHRA mountain motor is cheaper than buying a new version 500ci EFI piece.

If it was limited to bodys made before 1980 that would be something.

Dozen-15 cars in PDRA usually. They put on a good show. And they're not all Camaros and a number of engine builders are involved. Looking at the 660 numbers they are pretty close to the 500" cars. Should be able to adjust some minimum weights a few pounds and be close. Glad to see it, should spark some interest in the class. I still like and appreciate the NA stuff. All about the motor.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

PS needs manufacturer diversity, less overhead to compete, and arguably closer relation to Stock or SS, though that isn't a deal-breaker. Right now, seeing a bunch of the same cars, that look more like PM or FC than an actual car, loses the visual appeal. The expense loses anyone who isn't a millionaire or well-connected. I don't see the value of the EFI switch, except to the supporting vendors (follow the money?) or rules that favor one make (follow the money again?)... I'm OK with bringing in the Mountain Motor cars, but that could be difficult to manage unless there's at least a weight/size formula. I think NHRA needs to re-think what Stock, SS & PS cars ought to be, but that's gonna hurt a lot of guys. Obviously, one of the key problems is the demographic NHRA is trying to reach, and whether that has more value than tradition.
