The no single deal was all about NHRA giving out less trophies. There aren't that many singles even in Superstock with all classes (way more than stock).
When they first came out with the combo class "brain child". Charlie Neilson told me that I should just add or subtract some weight to change class. He was told that by the tech dept. And that I must be mistaken.

Art, what I was told by one sponsor, that there are too many classes to have to pay. If no racer collects it, NHRA keeps the uncollected money. It's gotten to be too many classes for them to have to pay, especially if no cars run the class. That is one of the major sponsors I was talking to. I know you have also been around long enough to remember class win money, and the product many of them handed out to everybody. Not any longer.
