NHRA no longer aknowledge Chrysler

NH RA Pro stock did some funny things to mopar.The reason they used GM engines is the same reason you are saying a hemi isn't a hemi.And is to slap the face of all mopers.If you had a winner in pro stock the first thing they would say is it had a Chevy engine in it.The hem is mopar no matter how you look at it.It comes from a hemispherical combustion chamber head design.They all use and it is mopar.Call what you want but the fact is it is CHRYSLER. Top fuel no matter what body it has on it the distributor comes out at an angle pointing to the passenger side of the car.That is mopar to me.Look at this website, http://www.sonnysracingengines.com/ is this a Chevy engine? 1 Chevy never made a hemi but if you discredit Chrysler then anybody can claim they have a hemi.Mark

Modern day Pro-Stock cars should be called Funny car. Doors openings painted on ain't stock.
There was some 4-door Pro-Stock Ford Mavericks ran in the mid to late seventys. And yes, they had four real doors.
I didn't care for the short-cut GM/Mopar engines either. That was a bad time to be a Mopar guy.
Then there was the alledged NOS on the Wayne County Cars.
Kinda funny, that no one got real concerned with the Summit cars that belched fire from the hood scoop & exhaust after it was shut off.
I do see them qualifing closer to mid pack, instead of #1 & #2 now. No bottle I guess.
You know where all this mix & match stuff started, when any body style of GM product was allowed to run a small or big block chevy in it.
Do you think Buick, Pontiac, or Oldsmobile would have been winners with there on engines in them. I don't think so.
NHRA & NASCAR bowed down to GM to allow this to happen.
