T/D and T/S are just another spectator "Class" (these cars are FAST at that means spectators) to push the stock and Super Stock cars further out of the picture. Just as the .90 cars did to the modified cars years ago and the associations and tracks will kiss their ***** to get them to come and be premadonnas for a little while. If it wasnt for the money collected the class legal cars days would be numbered. They are old news to the younger crowd. Look around.....we are OLD and getting older. Todays spectator doesnt know or care if the car has a 283 or a 426 Hemi under the hood. All they want to see is a fast show (entertainment). Its all about the easy entry money and associated expenses the associations are collecting. No real tech problems other than safety items and they dont have to have tech inspectors with the knowledge to do the job of tear downs. The Alcohol cars are there to keep the track from rusting.....
