The way I see it, with the new "AHFS", as someone said earlier, the class has gone from a performance class to bracket racing and it will please those that want to race in the class and not work on their cars to make them competitive. We are going to be missing great performance class matches such as AAA, A, B, C and other classes such as U/SA. Due to the class becoming a bracket race and unattractive to many, I can also see many putting their cars for sale too.

Well now, the way "I" see it, SS and Stock has turned from Eliminators in which the majority of Competitors were Innovators who took pride in doing their own combos and being judged by their winning against the competition, under the watchful eye of Tech, to being a bunch of hobby racers who just want to go fast and win no matter what. And Tech is rarely if ever an issue. How many modern SS/S racers build their own combos or even work on their own stuff? Why should they care if what they're racing is legal or not? Not much is being checked and "we" all know that "everybody's cheating anyway". Besides, it's the 21st century, if you get tossed in Tech, you can always sue the engine builder or NHRA.
How much Tech do you see at a bracket race?
