Part of the big money spending is thanks to manufacturers who are working to earn money by providing "edge" products that help. The NHRA laxity on holding the line on tech changes opens the door for this problem. Many want to go the fastest and win the classes and push the envelop because they know it keeps changing. Cars that were leading edge 4 years ago are .2 slow now based on new tech allowed parts or combinations.
My GT/AA Big Block done with all the accepted legal parts and Hp ratings in the class is now between .6 and .7 slower than the class record holder. It won class and was on average same as any similar in the country.
Evolution? no I think lack of firm rules...with eye to keeping eveyone coming to race and paying entry and buying new parts ....
