At one point, a $16k truck could compete in ProStreet- Not so much anymore.
I doubt you could build any of the competitive Pro Street engines for $16,000!!! Much less have a chassis to put it in and driveline to put the power to the wheels!!!

The innovation and performance is awesome, but racing is not a poor man's sport! It never has been, and I doubt it ever will be.

But with diesel performance there are classes that daily drivers can compete and have fun in while being driven to work during the week and to the track on the weekends!!!
