Mopar is more interested In the new Fx class and FSS then pro stock and I don’t blame them pro stock is done when it comes on I switch channels get tired of watching pro Chevy mopar QF at the bottom ever race and a 1st round runner up gets old I give Alan all the credit for trying to keep a mopar out there but it’s not going to happen NHRA does not want mopar in pro Chevy why do you think Alan and his dad are no longer racing because mopar said we’re done with pro Chevy

I find I am still a big Pro Stock fan and the class seems to be healthy right now. While I root for Alan I tend to view the class more like Top Fuel were everyone runs a Hemi and it is the drivers that make the difference.

While you may feel that way personally, perhaps a thread that was started by a guy who works and fights and struggles to be competitive with less resources than the hitters and a combination that is admittedly at a disadvantage, is not the best place to dump those thoughts.

Pro Stock, IMHO, is the pinnacle of gasoline powered, naturally aspirated, door slammer drag racing. Anyone who is able to do it successfully deserves some degree of respect.

I like Pro Stock. It's a builders/tuners game that also requires a driver who can make perfect runs. Every tiny detail makes a difference. I wish I could learn more about what makes them tick, but that info is kept close to the vest. Being too nosy gets you escorted to the door.

Nothing but respect for Alan and his tenacity. He's within a couple MPH which, to me, is no small achievement.


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

Go back and read my post I said I give Alan all the credit he deserves for keeping a mopar out there NHRA has it stacked against the mopar hemi it’s a Chevy show is all it is even the fords have a Chevy motor in them when Charlie could not get the ford hemi up to par he went another way and the ford hemi was nothing more then a hemi 99 that Larry brought over to the ford camp also the hemi does not like the 10500 rpm limit

sB ..... was that 10.5 limit the only thing that NHRA did to hinder the competitiveness of the Mopar ?

Ole AP is not that far off .... especially considering his way smaller operation compared to the rest of them

if 10 million dollars happen to be dumped into Alan's bank account, I bet he would give all in the class a run for there money

Yes, 8 million to NHRA for a favorable rule adjustment and 2 million for car improvements/R&D.
