"Paper Cars" IHRA or NHRA I'm just not a fan.
Larry, with all due respect, when you line up in the opposite lane does it really matter if they are a F/CM or an F/SA? It's still who has the best light and runs closest to their dial. We need to encourage local combo races and try to be inclusive to have the largest fields possible. That being said if it's an NHRA track and there is an NHRA class for your car you should run off NHRA indexes and horsepower factors. If it's an IHRA track you should run off their indexes and horsepower factors. I think allowing crate motor cars or pure stock cars or SS/PA cars could help in some areas to make the fields larger.
