NHRA did the right thing by moving them. A little late but correct so why would they put them back in ? Showroom Spec? Basically the same as the all out race cars? Certainly not stock. I like the new cars don't get me wrong. I just think that nc heads manifolds, huge roller cams, 4 link, custom EFI and so on do not belong in stock. None of those cars approved had the index in the same zip code as the car. Instant hitters. I have witnessed a new car (drove it off the lot fully registered and their daily driver) at the drag races with a great driver and great tuning skills run extremely fast and very competitive. I have to tell you, I was blown away that this engine and trans combo was that fast. This is their production car, not a factory race car. Do you think they could get it in the books? No! They (the MFG) would not allow it. Probably because it was not a second or more under but very close.

This is why it's so important to get the classes and especially the indexes for the classes correct right now. "OR" there's gonna be a lot of older car class combos really left in the dust ! You heard it here first ! As hard as it is to swallow , if done correctly it's good for Stock Drag Racing, NHRA, and the manufactures.
