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

I wouldn't be one of them.....

This I agree with !!

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

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....

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.

And there's a big problem, even with traditional cars that are racing now. What happens to Stock and SS when the group of tech people we have now age out? Not disrespecting them but most of our tech people are of advanced age now so I wonder what's going to happen, this may be why we hear all the rumbling about safety only tech in our future.....

[boostedf22c]

James, that is and would be a legitimate concern for sure.

The tech situation can be handled easily by NHRA it is not their first rodeo
. People who attend drag racing events are interested in all classes .All classes just have to be promoted out side the racing event in many ways i know of. Also a racer has to realizes sportsman are the minor leagues of sort ,unfortunately The Pros numbers are dwindling because the minor leagues have not been promoted .

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.
