Unfortunately the cost of building one of these new cars will not bring new blood into our sport. My guess is that NHRA would like to phase out the older muscle cars and have a newer look with a smaller amount of competitors in stock and super stock. You can already see the handwriting on the wall with the reduced quotas. They claim the reduced quotas are because of the live TV coverage. I have watched several of the shows on FS1 and they are all taped and edited. no live rounds.
