Dwight, did you know that back in the 80s (you remember the 80s) when Chevrolet was releasing the Monte Carlo SS they were considering nitrous as STD equipment but chickened out at the last minute because of warranty issues.

Nitrous might be a stretch, but if history repeats itself what might be the next "big thing" after the SuperCar Shootout? Is it time to bring the Factory Experimental (FX) classes back with special "out the backdoor" setup's for match racing? That would seem to be the next logical progression.

Then they could add blowers and FI to Pro Stock .
