4) Consolidate SS and GT classes to reduce classes( pre 80s cars run 50 lb lighter in classes)
5) Trucks and FWD in with regular classes.
6) consider Mod classes to Comp. They are not lb per HP.no tear down. Open rules fit Comp better.

Point #1 Totally agree with

Point #2 Agree with. But only with FI being put back in with the carb cars.

Point#3 Disagree with. This would be a low car count class that is not needed. Just more class singles and another place for people to hide.

Point#4 TOTALLY DISAGREE. There is more than 50 lbs diffrence/disadvantage from a 66 chevy II to a Cobalt/cavalier/sunfire/G5. All this would do will make all the old muscle cars disappear( except for the beloved Hemi's). Talk about no fan appeal. 150 cavaliers and cobalts at INDY with 30 hemi cars. Plus all of the good/soft combo's are 70 and 80 smog motors. Not much appeal for the "show" their, DICK.

Point#5 agree and disagree. SS trucks and GT trucks should be mixed in with the cars with a 150 lbs weight break. Leave the FWD's alone

Point#6 Disagree. The modifeds should stay in SS but classes should be combined so their is not so much jumping around. They have enough advantages over the weight/hp cars as is.

Point#7 My suggestion if a Stock/SS class goes 5+ years without a participant in a NHRA event. It shoud be deleted. Anyone run SS/DX anymore?
