Pro Stock rules meeting (6 Viewers)

[65 Goatboy]

Pretty sure most of the PS car guys have regular jobs too. For that matter, so do the fuel racers.

Clay Millican just plays when he's not at the track! In his shop, Jeff Lutz's, etc. he's always on the move doing something cool.

My spies tell me that John Skiba used a "drop" of hydrazine in Dick Lohrs Mustang F/C years ago. Said the engine sound was different at once w weird flame color from the headers. Harry Schmidt in the Blue Max used hydrazine once at OCIR. Wonder if that was the meet where they ran that 6.72 ET. I saw that, & could not believe an F/C was running almost as quick as a T/F car. Hmmmmmm

That will affect nobody. No (500 CI) Pro Stock car has a planetary transmission. They have been gone from the class for well over twenty years. This rule (in my opinion) is simply closing a loophole. Same with the high gear in the trans being 1-1, they already are.

What this does is stop someone with extremely deep pockets from trying to invent something that will end up costing everyone a pile of money.
