I believe someone was talking about what we can do to save our sport. I think we need to get a class or 2 that go back to the idea behind Pro Stock. Cars that consumers relate to. I love nitro, but I absolutely love Pro Stock, and would not want to get rid of it. But some class that was "part of the show" that was a lot more like what you can buy off the show room floor I think would do a lot for the sport. Im sure I will get flack for this, but perhaps 2 classes like this. One being rwd, and one being fwd or even awd.[/QUOTE]

Your beating a dead horse. IHRA had that with Top Stock but GM and their dumb assed engineer couldnt keep his nose out of the rules and F&&ked it up. NHRA (Dave Ley) followed suite and did it like IHRA started it along with a Top S/S and a Top Jr. stock but not many kept at it and it was run when their was NO sprctators at some Div 1 events. Some racers (Bracket style class racers) hated it and some racers loved it. Its to bad it wasnt run when the spectators could watch it instead of on Thursdays when most had to be at work. There are not enough FWD or AWD in the country to try it. It requires a good 16 + car count like Pro Stock of the early 70's. The show was 4 speeds and wheel stands to mix it up with the automatics on the 2 steps. Cars that look like real cars instead of the funny cars of todays Pro stock and normal people could almost afford to run one..
