Is this what Glendora is focusing their efforts on now? I thought they were trying to reduce the amount of classes. Now this??

Now it all makes since. They're looking at combining ALL sports compacts into NHRA type classes. That's why they just changed the rules about Class winners. Bikini contest won't be far behind.

Sports compact racing was costing them money. Never could get a full field and spectators were too busy watching other stuff.

What the HELL! What's the; index, weight breaks, and what cars, exactly, does this apply to? That explanation is a little vague. Wait 'till Bucky spots a front drive( and it states ALL MOTOR) Nissan. The bikini contest winner will get more than the Superstock winner, and she didn't pay an entry fee. What a joke.

NOPI, the big time rice race promoter just announced they were suspending all remaining races for 2008.

Another class opening up at events to attract more entry payers. Helps fill the pits at Divisionals and pay the purses. The seven guys running Nationally last year will each have a divisional race to run. Some new sponsors will have a place to guarntee prize money which can add to the NHRA prize purses. Good business for NHRA ? maybe. Good for Class racing or Sportsman racing in general. NO. Divides the number of people who want to race into smaller and smaller numbers of people per class. More Bracket racing....

Dick,
Smaller classes? Like the class of broken CV joints?
I'll be glad to run one any round... Esp the final.. Chances are they would break before the final. They are about the only thing that breaks more than mine.

Don't most of the rice burners use Alcohol?

Will be interesting how they write the rules - current sport Compact all motor rules allow full tube chassis, non-oem body panels (1pc front ends) and Methanol - it's more of a Comp class than Super Stock but I know the Comp guys would go ballistic if they added a class with cars that ONLY run high 9's.

BTW - since they added the turbo FWD classes into Comp I don't believe a single one has attendedn an event. Don't look for an overtaking.
