[QUOTE=Billy Nees;
The combos that I would like them to focus on are the combos that just got arbitrarily handed a bad factor 20-30-40 years ago and got forgotten about.
There has to be some kind of a happy medium that NHRA can come up with to get some "affordable" combos the help that they need without the full-blown "welfare" give mes.
As it stands, there's no rationale for a Racer to build a decent, affordable but not very competitive car and have to race it for 10 years getting 2-3 HP back a year.[/QUOTE]

Agree, and how about a couple of newer street cars (traditional stockers w /17 digit vins) as bad factor examples which need to be corrected also... the '10 Camaro, and the 11-14 Mustangs, (seen any lately? ) while the street 09 up Challengers and '15 LS3's are out there racing and getting AHFS HP ?
