What can be done?

A lot could be done but NHRA will not do it. Have you priced a Pro Stock transmission lately? Why allow a clutch less 5 speed and multi disc clutches. The engines alone are priced as much as a modest house. why use special blocks and heads ? use normal production parts. No body templates anymore. The cars look like jelly beans just painted differently. It seems to me that its as bad as stock elim. these days with all they are allowed to use. . Is it because NHRA does not want to invest the man power to inspect these so call cars ?
Same deal for Top Fuel and Funny cars going to fast and running on a 1000 Ft. track. The NHRA could demand them to use smaller blowers with less boost, less percentage of nitro, use just one fuel pump like they use to do. Less cubic inches for Pro Stock and the fuel cars then go back to a real 1/4 mile ! The funny cars (great name for them) do not even look like a car. The wings are ridicules looking but are needed to keep them from flying off the track.
Its all become a circus !
