Your point illustrates why Rayburn has the best solution. If NHRA is going to take the time to reclassify the new cars, they could do the same thing and still keep them is Stock. The supercharged cars are reflective of what can be bought from the dealer (Shelby GT500 and/or Super Snake conversion from Shelby) even though they are making big power. NHRA could also consider putting the blower cars into SS and leaving the N/A cars in their own class(in Stock) so manufacturers still have an arena to showcase their product. They only problem with taking power off of the old combos is that a 10% reduction could result in the removal of too much ballast thus creating traction problems on the mostly marginal tracks we race on. I doubt the A,B,C cars want to have to worry about spinning.
