Drag shows will change next year as hood scoops will replace flat hoods on Pro Stock in 2027. This prepares as the proposed 2028 Chevrolet will likely be unveiled and body style could be used by the factory teams.

Pro stock change back to hood scoops good deal NHRA made Pro Stock lab rats for Detroit now ban the forced use of 4-barrel style throttle bodies and the 10,000 RPM limit and go back to the 11.000 + RPM range.

The are race cars not lab rats

Pro-Stock has always been my favorite class. Fond memories of going into the pits as a kid and being able to see the cars up close. Bought t-shirts directly from Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins and “Dyno” Nicholson out of their trailers.
