Think is will bring a lot of new kids in who can afford these hotrods.
Remember the tracks in the early 70's were packed.

For the new cars suggest Bolt on Mods...
No mods under the Valve Covers...
Headers, Mufflers, Tune, Converter, Tires..
No Roll Bar, NO Race Fuel..
Most of the new hotrods run well into the 11's, 12's and 13's in Stock form.

Lot of racers would love to buy one of these new rods and run Pure Stock.
IHRA just does not have the depth to handle this influx.
Too hard to get specs from the manufacturers.

Know there is a huge market for the new generation Chevy SS, Camaros, Dodges Demon and Fords who want to compete against each other.

Daniel, Are you going to be the one to tell these kids they can't change the pulleys or throttle bodies? LOL

Seriously though, these guys are used to leaving home on a Friday afternoon, and being home the same night.
Wait till they find out how much it costs to play with NHRA.
Fact of the matter, as stated by Bob M., they don't want these cars at national meets.
