Bob is correct, the outdated rule was presented to NHRA's tech commitee last fall thanks to Mike Crutchfield and the change was approved. It was an old rule that excluded corvette's as they were perceived as having some type of advantage but as cars/manufacturers have changed over the years it is obvious that a corvette has no more advantage than a front wheel conversion late model vehicle that can change from modified stock, to modified, to comp. In addition there are many corvettes out there that run single carb set ups that could be competitive in modified stock that usually don't race NHRA, therefore hopefully increasing car counts.
