What we need from NHRA is just a little "common sense". If you are going to allow wheelie bars and a car cannot run them without the notches it would seem that they have already approved the notches by approving the bars.
We have seen other lack of common sense situations lately. I think that I am right though I don't race a Ford that NHRA disallowed aluminum center sections. Why? There's no performance advange. It just makes changing the chunk easier.
Now after 40+ years they have disallowed cowl hoods on 255 Camaro's. Why again ?There's no performance advantage or else a HP adjustment would be required with the hood change.
Yet, they allow fuel cells(I love that rule and it's a good one) They allow racing seats which make a stocker no longer look stock. We all know the other non stock items that are allowed. Wheelie bars, etc.
Where is the common sense about what is allowed and what is not?
