I hate to say it Bobby but it's never gonna happen. The tighter you make the rules, the easier it is to cheat, the more Tech you need to police it, the more it costs the NHRA.
Something that might fly with NHRA and Racers on a tight budget would be some kind of a factored HP to wt. deal using SEALED, approved crate engines. The crate engines do exist, they would be easy to police, just look for the sheared bolts. NHRA could probably get some factory replacement parts money. Maybe 4-6 classes in Stock or SS on top of what we have.
And OBTW, it"s gonna take more than "a few young people" to fly.
