FACTORY X RACER GEOFF TURK RELUCTANTLY GETS HIS PLACE IN DRAG RACING HISTORY | Competition Plus

When it comes to the NHRA's new Factory X class, Geoff Turk has been the first at a few things. He was the first to display a completed race car at the 2022 PRI Show in Indianapolis, and almost four months later, was the first documented of the next level of Factory Stock Showdown cars to hit...

So will these cars take the place of Pro Camero? Car looks to me like a P/S with real car dimensions. I dunno, running 6.90's or 6.80's at 200 would be pretty cool and would be a good show. REAL Mopars, Fords, Chevys.

So will these cars take the place of Pro Camero?

We can only hope.

When I watch vintage Pro Stock I remember how cool that class was, and FX is reminiscent of that. PS was cool until sometime in the early 2000s when they went to the all carbon fiber bodies that were sliced and diced every way imaginable and resemble....nothing. I think that was the breaking point for me as far as a class with "stock" in the name goes. I know aero tricks were employed since shortly after the beginning, but they still maintained the roof/quarters. As a spectator I find Pro Camaro the same on the excitement scale as Super Comp... cookie cutter ho hum; let's get a burger. Although as a racer either one would be fun to drive.

Hope Turk gets it back together soon and the class generates a lot of interest and new cars.
