Pro Camaro is extremely boring. (1 Viewer)

I was drawn to drag racing when I was in high school in the 60's by fuel dragsters. Nothing is more visceral that a nitro car going down the track.

I just get tired of so many races in FC and TF where only one car makes it down under power (sometimes neither one).

PS has far more close, side by side races than the nitro classes.

Yes they look alike, but so do TF cars and FC cars.

When a guy like Tony Stewart tests a PS and says that a driver makes a big difference and has more to do in PS than TF, it means something.

I do wish the NHRA would finally take some steps to make it less expensive in TF and FC. The fields keep getting smaller...
 
I HEART PRO STOCK. Long live the Northeast Pioneers Lee Dean, Ralph Cifarelli, Carmen Nataro, Joe Sway, Ralph Ferra. Plus my favorites The Dodge Boys (97 ETown Chef's Kiss), Joe Lepone, Jr., Allen Johnson, VIncent Nobile! Great class, close racing, and the legacy keeps me going. The new Engine Building rivalry keeps me glued.
 
The biggest issue for the PS class is that it has gotten completely away from its origins. It originally allowed the different manufacturers to showcase their performance cars. The main rule was that the engine must be from the same manufacturer as the car's body.
Reinstating that rule wouldn't change a thing today other than it might park the Cuadras until they could get some Camaros built.

I'm really surprised about Factory X, a class that seemingly addresses a lot of complaints about PS. Body-style parity, engines a lot more in line with what the factory originally supplied and bodies that closely resemble their street counterparts. And what's not to love about a 5-speed doorslammer that runs 6.80/200. But the last race that ran this class drew 4 cars. :(
