I haven't read all of the posts and this thought may have been offered before. How about bringing back the old gas classes? No cars younger than 25 years old. Classes could be AA through H and they could include import classes. There are lots of cheap mid 80's cars around. Gassers could have their own category and eliminator. I'll bet a lower class gasser could be built for under $10,000.00. I would build one in a second. It may cause car counts to suffer in other categories but it would give the entry level folks a place to jump in and old guys like me a chance to re-live the past.

I don't know, Bruce.
NHRA stands for No Hot Rods Allowed, doesn't it?

Strange as it sounds, the folks who like those kind of cars, seem to have very little interest in actually drag racing them.
We saw that with the imports too, didn't we?
