We have enough classes already.

That is pure bunk. You are parsing words. The FI classes were implemented, they worked, and then the cars were brought back into the traditional classes. The FI classes served their purpose just like the FX classes can until the AHFS catches up and it will work for the upcoming motors that Ford has in the wings. The NHRA doesn't have Crate Motor classes, but they are allowing crate motors from Ford and Chrysler.
So what about the car counts. That has nothing to do with how many classes the IHRA has or doesn't have. It has to do with it is the IHRA and the NHRA has always been a bigger draw.
You have every right in the world to voice your opinion and I respect that. But it is no skin off your nose how the NHRA handles this one way or another. It is skin off my nose and it does affect me directly since I have to run these factory race cars heads up where you don't.
