I've heard someone mention it before, and it seems to be more plausible as time goes on. The NHRA legal team would probably not advise them to kill of Stock and Super Stock completely. However, if they gradually make us more unhappy with them, we may just go away on our own, which may be part of their plan.

No one would love Stock and SS boycotting Natl events more NHRA, they would love to find an excuse to kill our classes once and for all. Do you think for a minute that they couldn't fill the time by adding to quotas for Top Dragster, Top Sportsman, etc and not have to deal with the extra tech issues? Not trying to be negative here but the days of the Wally Parks purist attitude is over, this is all about the Pros, we have no clout to call the shots. Remember the Modified protest at the US Nationals and how much good that did?
