Gassers, 48 Anglias, 409's, etc. Best of all you wont be in the tear down barn all night.....Oh I forgot....
NHRA dosent tear down stockers and Super Stockers anymore at most races. Kind of like IHRA. Must be an EGO thing.

X-MAN....not sure what NHRA national events you have attended, but at about 95% of the National's I've attended, there have been stocker/super stockers being torn down. Maybe you should actually attend a few of these national events.
Its been since the 1970's and early 1980's since I raced NHRA in H/S and SS/IA. Gainesville, Bowling Green, Suffolk, Ciecil County, Maple Grove, etc. From what I have read, heard and seen in the last few years its been off and on and depending which race you go to that tear downs happen. Didnt hear about any at Las Vegas....did you???? Nor several more during the year. Almost none at IHRA races. Besides the ONLY NHRA race I care to spend my money to see is the Dutch Classic at Maple Grove, Pa. (NO PRO's or Alcahol cars) and a couple of other points races. National Events suck to me. Been there and done that.
