Drivers expected at Indy include John DeFlorian (shown), Trevor Eman, John Konigshofer, John Montecalvo, Elijah Morton, Dwayne Rice, Dillon Voss and Brad Waddle.
“We are looking forward to seeing the Mountain Motor Pro Stock class run at an NHRA national event,” said NHRA vice president of competition, Ned Walliser. “There’s been some interest in incorporating these cars into our current Pro Stock field. In order to determine if that’s even a possibility, we need to see these machines perform under the same conditions as our Pro Stock category.”

I was so looking forward to this happening!! About fifteen years ago... Am I the only one who thinks the ship has sailed on normally aspirated door car racing??

Hell, many of are local grudge/street racing cars around here are all mountain motors these days. We have 6 or 7 over 900+" on 10-1/2" tires with 3,4,5 & even 6 kits on them & they are getting down & quickly on small tires....

Well I would hope the Mountain Motor cars can outrun the NHRA cars. They already do so why would they not at Indy??? Seems kind of obvious, the performance of those cars is pretty well known. No sense sandbaggain, they will all be running their 6.20's and .30's as they have been.
FWIW does IHRA have any relevance these days at all?

This won't fix Pro stock, just like EFI, RPM limits and that query looking no hood scoop body they have.
It's dead. NHRA isn't going to kill a class like they did Pro Stock Truck. They are going to let tha class dangle from a rope util it's blue and then kill it and not have a law suit.
I as one of the few who said all that [censored] wouldn't fix the class. And it didn't. Neither will this. Neither will running new generation engines like FSS.
Demographics have changed. The VAST MAJORITY of the spectators treat Pro Stock like Funny Car. They only look at the body, drivetrain doesn't matter.
Stick a fork in it. It's over.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

If the MM walked away with the Indy trophy, there'd be more tears in Indianapolis than water in the Mississippi. They wont be walking away with any trophy being that they are exhibition cars.. its show

i don't know why they said IHRA all these MM cars run PDRA now Probably because those cars are definately most closely associated with IHRA, who made a special niche for them Nobody since has even run them 1/4 mile anymore
