why not first ask nhra to cut the classes back to say 40. Run a/t & sticks together, put the modified cars in comp, & combine the factory cars in with gt or s/s, then try to get sponsors to pay class again. Do i currently have a car that could win class, no, not by any streach. But if the classes were cut back i would bet a big number that want class would bail

for the sake of the class this is the direction we should be following, adding a class for every new car certainly hasn't worked

torturing cars what are they built for? ( a ride at disneyland) my oh my how would you like to go 600 miles at 200 mph thats torture!
