You guys are funny, the only real entry-level class now is super comp
And as for taking away throttle stops, big motors, and all that crap you’re delusional they run an 11 50 850, and 10 flat class with no electronic help and hardly ever get very many cars. They even tried to run those classes at Nhra divisionals a few times what a joke so don’t think that’s gonna happen. We race by NHRA rules that’s it. Of course I want the best car within the rules. If you don’t like it, don’t play.

It's obvious there is no going back as far as the rules for each category. But I say leave those alone and stop liberalizing rules just because a chosen few lobby for changes. Been racing stock on and off since '72. Stock is no longer "stock". Let things be ! No more enhancements.

Stock can still be entry level if you pick one of the slower classes. Get in, get your feet wet, and have some fun. If your idea is to hop in and set the world on fire you'll probably be disappointed.

Last round of S/ST I watched there were multiple T/S cars throttle stopped down to 10.90. Seemed like a huge waste of resources, but nobody was asking what I thought.

I don't know about delusional. I know 2 former multiple time world champs in Super Comp and Super gas that told me that Stock and Super Stock is a different driving style but every bit as competitive as SC and SG. Al for bracket racing, my former driver went to the Division 5 bracket finals and won the Pro ET championship in a borrowed car he never drove before. By the way, if you get a Gold Card in ET racing, you can also use it to enter your class car at NHRA Div and Nat events.

that may have Changed, with a gold card you used to be able to run any et event at any nhra track. My last couple of Nhra gold cards were not good for NHRA bracket racing. And only way to get an et gold card was to win the bracket finals, not too many of those out there. But the et gold card might be different….

That might have been the deal in the beginning.
I can tell you for a fact, it wasn't the case
15 years ago.
Whether they changed it back now, or not, I do not know.
