A high dollar Comp eliminator. The same guys will still dominate, there will be no difference. The cars/engines are close now......AJ''s Dodges are within a half a tenth of the leaders. The problem is the cars are too refined, they don't make a bad run. So, it might as well light years. The days of someone coming out of the middle of the pack, even though it's within a few hundredths, and winning on a hole shot, or because someone misses a shift or even a shift point, are over. The cars are like watching robots. Not even fun to watch.

It's all a ruse to get Toyota into the class.
What a joke.

I was watching Jay Leno's garage awhile back. He went for a drive in a I believe a Score [ Toyota ] off road race truck. The owner said it was powered by a Toyota engine that could run 10,000 RPM's all day . Maybe the Chevy's will be taking a break from the winners circle or there will be a lot of toyota engines in Chevys.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

They are an amalgamation of the Chevy and dodge engines.

Why doesn't NHRA do a spinoff of pro stock and call it PS/C similar to our SS class SS /H for the old HEMI cars. It's all Chevy anyway.

Here comes Toyota..This is not new news per se'. The word of this coming has been floating around most of last year.

The teams are the ones that asked for this. What it does, is allow teams to choose what engine, in what aero package ( body) they think will work best.
