NHRA without question would have no interest in another spec class. So other than some local, maybe regional interest from a small group of old guys that have the coin to burn building a car for a class that has no appeal to the sanctioning body, track owners or fans our focus should be on promoting what we have/what we do. IMO, if the NHRA adds any class it should be a 10.5 class. This would put more fans in the seats which is what it was always about. Without that drag racing's future for my son's generation doesn't look promising.

Ed , how'd you get back on here? LOL
Now behave yourself
The NHRA REFUSES to think outside the bubble........and ultimately it will be their demise. The heads up and 10.5 stuff seems to always draw a crowd and apparently there's new blood in there all the time........at least based on the web sites I occasionaly roam thru.
There is still plenty of interest in drag racing , considering the world we live in today and smart heads could exploit it.
