The only thing necessary is for NHRA to want to, and we all know they do not want to be bothered.

Then what would happen for tear down for class winners ?

Danny, the only time there is tear down for any large number of class winners is at Indy. Most National Events don't have tear down at all, if they do it is a carburetor and cam lift check for a few cars.

Why on earth would they have class at more events? They would have to give out more trophies (spend more money).
At the PRI show I'm going to suggest that they just give one trophy to one overall class winner.
They can run it just the same as the combo classes but all will run.
Then they just give one trophy, and only pay contingency to one car.
Sounds like they would like this.
And everybody would be treated equally.

Ok, I am confused. When we say "run class" at some events, do we mean like it used to be where all J/sa run together, and AA/A run together, etc? Or are you just referring to the stock and super stock categories being held at an event?

I havent been around racing since I was 6 (1987). I have one my dads photo albums from 78 at indy and he was explaining to me how class racing at indy used to be an entire day and how much fun it was. Am I to understand that they don't do that anymore?
