Now, this is just an opinion, so don't everybody bite my head off at once. In my opinion, if NHRA\IHRA were smart, they would start a divisional no break-out eliminator, with common sense rules to include most of what we have all shared here, and start slowly by having them booked for 4 or 5 appearances a year at different tracks in their division. This didn't happen over night, and will not be solved over night. They could start with 1 eliminator with 4 classes such as stock, modified stock, stock option, and super stock. Say Dart furnishes the spec head for one, AFR for another, RHS another, Brodix or World products another. Indexes would be fairly simple to set, in my opinion. Next eliminator, Econo Mod, Econo Altered, Econo Gas, Econo Hotrod, Econo Dragster, Econo Funny Car. Same thing. Designate, and include the manufacturer of the heads in each program. Start small, and let it grow. Would it? Who knows, but it includes basically all types of vehicles, and should stay relatively affordable. Have a racers board tech teardowns. Just my 2 cents.
