I kinda/sorta have a feeling that the FS/FX stuff is going to become the future of S/SS and TD/TS will be the same for S/G S/C AT a Natl. Event level. I'm led to believe this based on what they're (NHRA) allowing for entries at their events. I believe that they're trying to get us USED to not being able to get into their events. I think that we'll always (for as long as they last) be welcome at Div.s and Opens just not Natl.s.
Think about it, FS/FX and TS/TD are easier to police for them and easier to understand for their "paying customers" who are (apparently) their main concern.
I guess where I'm going with this is...............
it sure would be a lot easier to call FS "Top Stock", wouldn't it.

I dont think that will be the case anytime soon. There is over 1700 cars that competed for national points in stock and super stock last year. There is nowhere near that many in FS and FX to take over. Too much money coming from the sportsman classes that they have now. Once the factories stop producing the COPO, Drag Pack and CJ mustangs the parts will become unavailable unless the aftermarket steps in.
I dont know what the future of our classes holds but by looking at the age of most of the competeitors it wont be around for ever.
