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.

1. Agree wholeheartedly, some of the A cars are too heavy as is. I think the reason its a low turnout class in IHRA is because you cannot cross over and run NHRA with it.

2. Agreed, this is still a performace based class. Lets make it count.

3. Agree 100%, and I know of one person for sure who would be the first one in.

4. Good idea, not feasable. Case in Point SS/E (8lbs) record is a 9.54, GT/A record is 9.02 and has been as fast as 8.97. 50lbs isn't going to even be a drop in the bucket toward bridging a 1/2 second gap.

5. Agreed

6. Disagree

7. Allow Race seats in stockers that have a full cage.
