Unless we see other manufacturer participation Pro Camaro will always be a dead class in my eyes

Whatever will our illustrious moderators do now that the silhouettes for PTW will look the same for PS and Pro Mod?

The most hilarious, head-scratching line in that article is saying the change is to "increase parity." They want to increase parity in a class that is, for all intents and purposes, exclusively GM powered? Tell me how that makes sense.

scoops back on. kinda' like a racer leaving his nhra scoopless factory-x car in lieu of ihra big scoop mmps this weekend.

Because engine builders and intake manifold designers need to make more dyno pulls.

I actually welcome the change. Now the cars will look more like a car with a scoop instead of cars with a "flat" hood that bulges up half the height of the windshield.

YEP, because the front inlet throttle body position creates a mixing of cylinders (lean/rich) that only the well funded teams could figure out. Returning to Hood scoops with the throttle bodies on top of a sheet metal tunnel ram will/should level the playing field and should tighten up the class making it more competitive.

Now let’s bring FORD and DODGE competitively back and then you will have something to watch again
