Guys got to realize that keeping the tech men up on 1million combinations in Stk and SS cannot be done and should not be expected. Keeping the combinations "simple and limited " can be an answer but no one will listen to that one. Everyone fears lack of innovation, lack of their own car, lack of their own brand.........lack of racing the combo they currently own..and understand.
Everyone rather sacrifice the whole sport while continuing to play the same games year after year. Run what they allow today and "Bi####" about cost, tech, rules etc. Complain about no sponsors, no crowd, no heads up racing....
A clean start class with spec , sealed motors could recover the crowd, cut the cost, increase the interest of sponsors and NHRA but I doubt support could be found anywhere
It cannot be done by one man, one group or brand. (MOPAR shoot out is the exception or example of supporting a concept. Not everyone can afford a 200,000 program.
Allow any body you have at a fixed wt and cubic inchs spec or sealed motor and at least
people could test the water with their current car and a cheaper motor combo to see if it works.
