Ford back in Pro Stock?

DAN-MAN · 07-21-2002, 07:25 PM

I heard a rumor that Ford might be getting back into NHRA Pro Stock with limited backing. The teams that would be getting this would be the Robert Patrick and Hurley Blakney teams.

This is, however, only a rumor. Anybody got any info on it? I'm just curious about it.

Where would they be running with a 71? engine? 500 c.i. is the limit for NHRA Pro Stock, and 71? is too small for IHRA, since they allow 816 c.i.

As we all know..you don't need a big motor to run a big number

Maybe Billy plans on running IHRA?? Maybe, Maybe not
