Just like out west around 1900, cowboys sitting on their horses watching this 4 wheel noisy contraption riding around town saying to themselves that this thing will not last, it's just a fad, a new thing.
What I'm saying this is the future. NHRA already sees S/S and Stock as a waste of money, time and manpower, heck they're having a hard time keeping the "pro" classes together and these S/S-Ss are the low man on the pole. Worst case, I see NHRA rolling over like the other guys(AHRA-IHRA) where are you gonna race then? A Similar situation happened here last week. Local bowling alley closed doors with two days noticed, sold the building, all those leagues out in the cold nowhere to go, done. It's all about the bottom line. I'd love to see it stay the same as before but like Brad Pitt said, nothing lasts!
These people will make it easier and if that means no tech and stretched rules then that's what they'll do to stay alive.
IMO
