They're the closest thing to "Junior Stock" we're ever going to have and from the looks of it's popularity, 45 years after NHRA put it to rest, I'd say that it was(is) the most popular eliminator that there ever was.

Billy, sorry The Jr. Stock era was lucky because there were a limited number of motors to factor, limited parts, and lots of competitiveness to WIN class, Run fast, Set records. Very few guys ran 1000 feet to save their car hp rating. Major problems of dial in due to running off records but....
If picking a HP today to take advantage of these classes is peoples thing, so be it.
Next year the "new Kid"(302), Cadillac, Vega Cosworth or Turbo Sunbird will make many feel second class again even though they worked hard to run their favorite. Too many possible combinations out there to predict and NHRA just might MAKE a new one.
Show me a one combo class in stock that cannot be killed by an outsider and I would be interested in Jr. Stock again.
