Re: NHRA - Raceway Park - Camaro
Maybe I'm just getting too old but none of those Pro Stock cars are even close to being what they represent. Pro Stock has gotten so far away from what it was when it first started back in the late '60's. That Camaro is nothing more than a tube chasis with some fiberglas "Camaro" body on it.
Call me crazy but, I'd prefer it if Pro Stock actually used the cars from the manufacturer, like they did in the day, and let the teams throw bigger engines in the cars or different transmissions but, they need to retain the factory dimensions and at least a percentage of the original body. It's great that a "Camaro" won; I just wish it was a real car.

Re: NHRA - Raceway Park - Camaro
I personally would like to see someone win besides the Summit boys. Seems like a repeat each week. I would really like to see Erica Enders beat them both a few times

Exactly! Todays ProStockers look more like the Funny cars from the 70's They should have kept the regulations at steel body, only fibreglass in front, hood and reardeck. AND retained the stock body dimensions. Those were the days... But I have to say, they are cool race cars. Our Swedish hero Jimmy Ålund, seven times European ProStock champion got himself a Camaro for this year. http://www.jimmyalund.com/ He also has an all original 1970 LS6 Chevelle that he took over from his dad.
