No idea why NHRA chose to do it now.
It didn’t matter when the conventional stock asked for it. Factory race cars have more pull I’m guessing?

Merry Christmas Folks.

The story is long…cars being classed out and moved to super stock…then Don Fezzell @ Virginia…the Alphabet classes… the ZL1 and last years aborted re-alignment…one hit from being classed out. Then a trial balloon about cages/chassises.

Bottom line Stock is in a good spot now…you can never go home…but we do have some say in the enhancements.

Okay so now we have AAA, where do we go from here AAAA? There's not going to be enough room on the windows for all those letters. LOL
Why not have A at the top and move the rest down? (I don't think a few decals hurt the racing budget.)
I'm all for any car meeting the requirements of stock eliminator having a place to race. I'm sure most lower-class combo's get extra pleasure from defeating a faster car.

Does ayone know just how much pull the factory has as far as financial to anyone including NHRA I suspect the amount of money if in fact there is some money being exchanged is not even close to what the racers pay ,just aother thought to ponder during the off season lol

Even better, when can they be properly moved to a regular class?

I'd be OK with that. Can we combine the Sticks and Automatics at the same time?

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of one pound weight breaks.

Is it one pound with Sticks and Autos combined? From I/S down there's the same or less participation than in the FWD classes.
Based on indexes, a FWD combo would need between a 3 and 4 pound weight break.
