Jim, As I see it, the problem is in no way the cars themselves; they don't have 40/60 front-to-rear weight distribution, vastly superior aerodynamics or much of anything you can't do to a '69 Camaro (which I only use as an example, because they can run a variety of classes from AA, down.)

The problem is, getting the people at NHRA to put a workable, realistic, FACTOR on them, and they won't be any more of a threat than any other Stocker with a factor that has proven reasonable.

IF NHRA will factor them realistically, so they can't totally dominate, I think all the problems relating to these anomalies will go away.

If NHRA refuses to do that, then what you're proposing would surely be better than what we have, now.
