Very nice.....the field has tightened up again, as Edwards and the Summit boys have seemed to found their power back as well....Allen has had the power all year long, had some bad luck and chasing tune ups, or he we be doing even better. I wish they could get Vinnies car on par with Allens, but thats also probably one fo the reasons Allen is making strides, using that as test data. Pro Stock technology is amazing.

Way to go, AJ!! BTW...Wonder what body all the GM guys are gonna run next year? Pontiac is defunct since 2008...going on 3 years? and Chevy no longer makes the Cobalt. maybe they'll run the Volt  Or maybe GM doesn't care any more. I know Bickel is developing a Camaro (pretty much on his own dime) but compared to the bullet shaped GXP anything they do to that body is going to be a let down I'd like to see a ford fusion Pro stock, I'll bet it's got much better aero than the Mustang, they could paint it like the old Tijuana Taxi

Slant, Yeah I get that but if things were Healthy in the sport the Mfg's would always want (and be pushing for) their newest offerings out front and center...doesn't say much for the NHRA or GM to have cars (let alone BRANDS) that haven't even been sold for 3 model years out on the track representing the "premiere" class of doorslammers, it's just not a real positive or upbeat message going forward, ya know?  When we get to that point we might as well all go to throwback cars like Pro Mod and run whatever you want, heck maybe that's not a bad idea!

Allen Johnson ran a 2 door Neon for 4-5 years after they quit making 2 door Neons didn't he? Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.
I'd like to see them use new Challenger/Camaro/Mustang bodies, but then the Mopars would be back to sucking hind teat again. They have let the Mustang do a pretty good "redesign" now and it's still a pig compared to the other bodies in use.

I'll tell ya, the most impressive guy this year, not for his race results, but for his advancement enginewise has to be V Gaines. He started his own program not that long ago, and has really really made some serious strides in what would be considered a short time. He's been creeping up under the radar....good to see some Mopars doing us proud.
Larry Morgan is moving right along as well. I got to see some Ford Pro Stock Hemi heads the other day for a Comp Eliminator car ( long story, dont ask) and they look like a large sized cat could be thrown thru the ports of those things.( and come out un-scathed) 2.500 valves, way way way over 540 cfm of flow....meow..

Why would the Challenger be so bad against Camaros and Mustangs? From a manufacture point of view, it makes sense. People aren't inspired to buy an Escort because of a pro stocker. It makes sense to expect some return on investment. I'd push for current muscle car bodies.
