Ed, don't blame Bracket Racing for the demise of Class Racing. NHRA hasn't had the manpower to do proper teardowns on each Class winner and runner-up for longer that I've been Class racing! And the only way that we could go back to the old "ya gotta win Class to get in the field", "running off the National Record" days would be to have proper tech and teardowns again and that's not gonna happen.
Let's face the facts, NHRA was able to cut their work force AND increase participation by "dumbing" Stock and SS down. Bracket Racers just saw a good thing and moved in.
