I am with you John, that said, the Pro Camaro show doesn't particularly interest me. The talks of allowing a DRCE engine to be used in any body interests me even less.

I think it’s an uphill battle that can’t be won. The company wars that made pro stock great are over

I find Pro Mod much more exciting to watch...... they always seem to be on the edge !

Did you catch Anderson's "old school" reference? I was cracking up! Went right over the interviewers head! Reiff caught it though. Pro Stock is kind of "is what it is" right now. Hopefully it continues to evolve. Pretty cool seeing N/A cars go .950 sixty feet! I think the rev limiter needs to go away first.

Wow,
I just went to the fall nationals at Ennis/Dallas and we only watched a few prostocks before heading back to the pit area.
Been a decade plus since I had been out to see the big boys.
I didn’t even know there were mopars qualifying or I would have stuck around to watch.
Thought it was all chevys.
1000’ racing was kinda weird.
