Racer could use current car and any of the motors based on lb per cubic inch instead of continual bogus hp movements to fit choice of classes.

No I am not currently racing so some are welcome to object to me offering thought but the BIG picture is the problem not the aftermarket fit of a head or ccs etc.

Nothing personal about this idea but this was another socialist idea that was going to save grass roots circle track racing and as we all know didn't work for them either. The money will always win out, always has and always will.
NHRA has its flaws but still is the best game in town. Car counts are steadily coming back after the years following the recession and I suspect they will improve again this year with a ever more improving economy. It has its flaws but its not broken so I wish everyone would quit trying to fix it. Its not the 70's or 80's anymore and people are not drawn to cars like they were at one time, there are too many options for people to enjoy their time with so I think under the circumstances NHRA is doing quite well.
