PRO STOCK, HOW WE GOT TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY

[Paul]

A friend of mine said they could always bring back cheating. Always made for some good racing and a few surprises/upsets.

What cheating?

C'mon, there was an excessive amount of fuel puddling in the intake manifold and combined with a plug mis-fire along with a little bit of valve float. That sounds more logical.

I like the comment ( I’ve never seen one do that on the starting line before )

No current pro stock car will get more than a few bucks at Barrett Jackson. Nothing to distinguish a KB car from an elite car once the sticker is pulled off the car. We have to stop the charade and wishful thinking that these cars have any relation to GM, Ford or Fiat. They are soulless race cars. Even their drivers aren't that interesting.

a real difference between the 80's and 90's PS cars (a perfect example in alderman pic in above post) is the amount of contingency sponsor decals. i hear sportsman racers
talk about this a lot too. how much additional money could be won back in the day compared to now.
