It's the interest of the factories plus the potential for new fans that makes these cars good for the sport. Plus I think interest in the new muscle cars will only revive interest in the old muscle cars.

I think its a good thing! I just wish the big 3 would do more for the older cars that made them what they are!

With about 20 "new" cars in Super Stock and almost 50 in Stock - not factoring anything other than the initial investment in the cars themselves - that's over $7 million in new race cars in the classes we love (Cars like the Driller are way over $100k to build so this number is low). Now I know I for one can't afford one but many others can and we should be happy to have people that committed to these classes. Now when you pull out the ones that ran in the FS classes, the ones running their real classes were spread throughout the field with several DNQ's, not gross domination as many of these combos have been taken several HP hits the last couple seasons. There are enough of these cars now, enough money spent and enough ego's, without a security blanket like the FS class, these combos will continue to get HP. I do disagree the FS class should be run without HP penalty and allow to bump others out of a field like Indy as that situation will not correct itself via AHFS.

A great thing for Drag Racing. Only weak link is like carb/charger/turbo cars should be in separate classes. Cannot judge Supercharged versus carb versus injected any more than old Injected motors versus carb motors....
