I have heard the reason why fuel injection is not allowed in PS is because of a A) cost and B) It would make it easier to cheat.

A: Nacho cheese!

I'd rather Pro Stock run A/SM rules. At least they look like something I could buy at the dealer.They're expensive to buy I know, but at least they'd be less expensive to race (maybe). Or.....Do away with the current PS class. Let the current PS guys switch to nitrous since that's basically what they've become anyhow (I know, nobody ever ran nitrous). Let current PS cars run nitrous and 800ci engines. Then keep pro mod for supercharged and turbo cars.That way PS becomes interesting again and pro mod gets the old "gasser" look (well sort of).

Then again, those fourth of July party beverages may be taking over my thought process.

A system could have been legally installed on a car as early as the mid 90s if you look at the rules and the available technology. I have never heard from any credible source that one was ever used.

A problem I ran into in the past and which is still present in 95% of professional drag racing pits is that everyone seems to have tunnel vision. There is some amazing technology out there, but it's unknown (or not being used) in drag racing.

Greg Anderson took the first step by leveraging NASCAR technology where it was useful. I'm not aware that anyone has stepped outside the racing venue for new materials or ideas. The pace of R&D that it takes to stay competitve makes it very hard for the usual suspects to have the time to find, verify, and test anything really new.

Fact: a division of NASA exists solely to help companies apply the extremely high technology developed by the space program. A team is going to have to have someone with a creative mind if they expect to connect the dots, as some of the advances don't show an apparent link to vehicle performance.

It all comes down to intent. Is Pro Stock a class of unlimited technology or is it a class of reasonably afforable technology? As in Top Fuel, that decision was made years ago.

I am quite sure they would all be 4 valve per cyl. Double overhead cam. The owners would likely save enough money in valve springs to pay for the new DOHC setup.

The RD cost to get a comparative cam and valve design would greatly out weigh the benefit of saving springs... $$imho$$

I know...

Stretch the wheelbase a little bit.
Open up the body rules to allow old body styles.
Let them run big wings, or mini fueler wings.
Let them run a blower.
Zoomies out the side.


You know..something like this



Maybe this way there will be no more traffic jam in the stands going down after the fuel cars run.

When you have access to more than adequate funding coupled with access to NASCAR type engineers which Jason Line does,it will get you ahead of the pack. If there was a way to prove performance versus money spent,it would follow the current points standings very closely. There would probally be a couple of exceptions but it would be close.

The problem with all your mentioned changes. It goes back to one thing..

people WERE in fact running Nos and won races for a few years. Besides the ones everyone talks about. One other MEGA Dude even ran a SMALL amount of Nitro, mixed in with the OIL. When he got caught they asked he to take a hike for a Year. But because he had a High profile money. They let him run the Circus for a year with out making the show. Just so the company didn't ruin the wallets of glendora. Traction control was used when a drivers car made a spectical out of gear changes, when the in car cam show his hands not to be Hitting the Buttons.. Hence no more air shifters. which also ment one less place for a Leaky nos line to be fed into some where. oh and gee wiz the fuel cells being put in front of the car, is an added HINT the fuel lines in the car had problems as well. Shocks were tied into the ING. box to retard timing when they rebounded in an uncontroled manor. IE tire shake. ok now if you remember when jonh force was kicking ASS once right on TV his all but removed his fire suit. And proudly said Wow I won and all without a NOS bottle hidden in my fire suit..

hmmmmm I am sure if I think about this a tad more, I can enlighten you more.

So getting back to the basics.

They can NOT Police EVERYTHING or the cars would take a half a day to make 1 Round due to Inspection. The other thing is the way the rules are now. Is so the teams are not beign forced to Play XBOX, and realy jack up the price of the cars even more them they are now.

Like the Fuel cars if they want to Slow them down.. REMOVE the DATA box from the car on Sundays and see what that does.. Let the CRYING begin.. you will see an instant jump in the fun meter for the fans. Not knowing who is going to win.

Sure what your saying about 4v dhc heads and all the rest might make more power BUT... try changing 4-6 some times more valve springs on a 500 cu now.. no big deal.. try it on a DHC head.. haha see you tomorrow because you will be changing springs in time for 3rd round NOT 75 minutes.. but least you forget.. PS cars have a Less then 75 turn time for the Final because they get run First..

Good luck with your thought process on your new rules.

You mean like this

Do you know what Bill France said when he saw that thing William?
