OK i understand "the noble idea" of getting cost down..but if there is room to "play hard ball" and go all out and use that .15 or whatever..that my be one of the reasons "crossover" is so poor..sorry i just cant see it happening in NHRA whitout actually loosing carcounts in the end..same as IHRA..just cant see that alot of the current NHRA racers would be happy in a "runwhatyabrung" bracket race..i may be wrong ofcourse..
