If NHRA made a few classes for them, and gave it a chance, they'd pull in an entirely different genre of cars and fans.

NHRA already tried the lice lockets and it didn't work. As I recall, the fans hated the cars, also.

I have an idea, but we get beat up every time we bring it up.

Yeah. Looks like the fans hate us.



The 10 people in the stands that are there to watch Stock and Superstock probably do hate us though. Lol

In My opinion I think that the Ricers should be able to run in Pro Stock, Super Stock,and Stock. It would create a new form of excitement in all classes for the announcers to talk about imports or what ever a track wants to call vs the domestics ,The problem is how to classify them, which I am sure some one smarter than me can figure this out

Sheer Lunacy......I'd quit in a NY minute.....

You scared or something?

[Rich Biebel]

NO...not at all...

I could see your type car in Comp but not the other classes....

Maybe Pro Stock but that didn't go well back when Buddy Ingersol had a Turbo car.....

How do you make a fair set of rules for non boosted cars to compete against a boosted ride....

The Import series did not go well from what I recall....it was very short lived....

[boostedf22c]

Rich, I chimed in about the NHRA Sport Compact series and it's issues earlier in this thread.

It's also been 10 years since it was disssolved and a lot has changed.

It wouldn't be hard to police, but it would require people knowledgeable about the types of cars.

This I agree with !!

The Drag Racing scene has changed a lot.
Time to invite the whole community!

Although obviously not legal in Pro Stock, it has been legal to run imports in SS for quite some time, there have been Mazdas, Hondas, Toyotas and VWs among others running in SS/MX and SS/Mod stock classes ongoing for years. Also, numerous cars in Comp Elim.
