Some pretty good ideas, but I must dissagree with 2 of them. Consolidation in stock would be good in looking at it from the stand point of less buy runs, but what about the classes that already have 10 cars or so. A/B would have a ton F/G, H/I, these classes might have 20 cars per race, which is good if youre fast, got lots of money, or like gettin spanked before 3rd round every race! Youre goin to keep alot of people from havin any fun at even a divisional race!

And the same for superstock, as messed up as the horsepower system is, you cant combine gt/ss. The same motors have different ratings, in different cars, in the same class. Thats a can of worms that nobody wants to get in to!

But I do like the idea of a faster stock class, and faster gt class. You could have some really cool combos in a 6.0 GT class! And a AA/SA class would be neat, but looking at IHRA there really not that popular or much faster than most A/SA cars. But would be a faster, bigger wheelstand, new combo class!

Something I would like to see done, though no one else will agree, is a change in the hp system! Instead of punishing the whole combo/class, make it per driver/car. I know this could have a ton of catches, it might keep the little guy in the race while making for better heads-up racing!
