Remember what wins on Sunday sells on Monday .NHRA missed the boat when all those new Fox body Mustangs in the 80's and 90's came into the hands of younger racers who started the 5.o series. just imagine if we could have harvested even a tenth of that participation instead of losing it outright. Don't get me wrong I enjoy Super Stock and Competition eliminator but these are classes design for more money to be spent on. Claude

Good points for sure !
I have been a big fan of the NMRA for 10 years now and a big fan of NHRA/IHRA class racing for 32 years.
I am amazed at how popular the 79 and later Mustangs are with the under 45 group.
Makes me wonder if there will be any younger guys in the future that will have any interest in class racing , or will the average age of the class racers keep climbing fast ?
