IHRA P/S is factory stock.

factory stock is ultra cool and very competitive. IMO you'll never convince the casual fan at an nhra nat. event
that they need to stay in the bleachers to watch 7 second cars on 9" tires

At the one Bandimere event that ran factory stock, the fans stayed in the stands and they put on a great show. Of course the fans there stay in their seats for most classes. It was either the heat or the stairs that kept them in their seat.

The biggest issue with factory stock is the 7.50 chassis certification. At any point a single car runs in the 7.40’s, the cars aren’t certified and essentially done with. I do not know if there is a 1/8 mile time but that really limits the technology improvements over time.

4.50 1/8th mile is the cutoff for a 25.5 chassis.

I agree with you but perhaps they blend in too much with other sportsman's categories? Maybe people really don't understand the class.

And sadly, the manufacturers are not helping. Camaros aren't in production now, and who knows how much longer we'll have the Challenger and Mustang. I fear both are not long for this world. Then we'll have a possibly outdated class.

Love pro-stock for the competitiveness and engineering of the cars, but it could be time for a major re-branding of classes. Our likes and passions can't withstand time and fate. I'll (and others will) have to move on with it or move away from it should big changes come.

Challenger is done not sure about the Mustang
