No record keeping of engine spec's, no more AHFS, no complainning about who is cheating and who is not.. No electronics, throttle stop's, timer's, 2-step's (maybe), air or elec. shifter's. No high dollar lifters, no cheated up heads, intakes. Cheaper engines etc. NHRA still can have the chassis certs, memberships and car numbers that is required now not to mention the pre entries for national event's and grading points to enter.
Whats not to like.......LOL. I think the next few years will be interesting.

Good points Terry, but if the 'Unleashed' program is implemented to replace certain classes due to the tech requirement aspect I would think the 'Unleashed' cars would need those tech people to check for timers and delays and other electronic gadgetry....that area alone could increase the tech workload more than it is now as transmissions and the rest of the drivetrain would have to be torn down to look for all of the creative electronic gadgets that could be employed.
The actual cost of teching 'Unleashed' cars would probably exceed the cost of teching S/SS and Comp cars.
