Sport Compacts being let in IHRA Pro Stock?????
anybody see this from dragracingonline.com?
IHRA CONSIDERING ALLOWING SPORT COMPACTS IN PRO STOCK
The International Hot Rod Association is giving serious thought to making Sport Compact style cars legal for Pro Stock competition. At the upcoming event at Rockingham Summit Racing Equipment team racer Matt Hartford (shown) will be making laps I in his "Sport Compact" style Chevy Cobalt.
A call to Skooter Peaco at IHRA confirmed that the sanctioning body is seriously looking at the idea, but has made absolutely no decisions, tentative rules or anything else concerning the potential adding of turbocharged, fuel injected, 4 and 6 cylinder powered Sport Compacts to IHRA's traditional mountain-motored Pro Stock class. That scream you hear is coming from engine builders Jon Kaase and Sonny Leonard, who currently built most of the IHRA mountain motored cars. [9-30-2005]

Ascool as it would be to see sport compact racing taking another leap, I dont think adding them to the Pro Stock division would be the right place for them.
IM a big fan of the mountian motor pro stocks and thier N/A achivments, adding turbo charged cars jsut wouldnt be right in that class.
Now adding our Pro RWD style cars to Pro Mod would be a bettersuited area for them, since Pro Mod is blowers , nitrous ect... why not throw the turbo cars in there... ????
Just my thoughts... should be a intresting discussion about this one...
