If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Maybe NHRA should try PRO STOCK as it started back in about 1970. Stock bodied cars , big motor. Something people can relate to.


it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

I was watching the live stream on NHRA.com today and it was pretty damn good. Way better than the TV broadcast IMO. Even the top end interview gal was dynamite. Bruno Massel and Tony Pedregon were cool. They were backing up the slo-mo and stuff. I have to admit that Pro Stock was pretty entertaining as well. Butner with Bandit wrap and the good looking crew and Pam Johnson in a Hellcat suit! Uh.........RARrrrRRRrrrr! How about the Cole Trickle tribute Dodge? Derek Kramer? I know, I know....you'd rather watch Pro Stock Camry than Camaro.

I am glad to see them do this. I would be interested in whatever the proposal that Richard Freeman (Elite) gave to NHRA, but it looks like it helped change their mind. My guess is that if it does not gain some traction in 2018 (no pun intended), it will be over soon after that.

I agree. Too bad it won't happen.

I'll guess that in two years it won't be anything more than an exhibition class for the few rich guys that still own them. Everybody else will have sold everything and quit racing or maybe moved to Pro Mod.

I'm thinking that the answer is right in front of everyone: the drag package cars from Chevy, Ford & Dodge.
Narrow the range of offerings down to blown & unblown.
Allow the blown cars some real tire size & backhalf work.
Call them ProStock.
Bingo, instant 1970 as far as brand participation, fan loyalty, and cars that look like cars.
The existing PS cars could be re-powered, some downforce mandated for safety, and go to Comp.

Just saw something on FB that Tasca is back for all of 2018 and driving a Ford. Supposedly Ford is back in the game with sponsorship but wonder how much shruggy

How about factory style blowers still under the hood? 6.3 and maybe 6.2 e.t.'s at 220?
