I don't want to get into a discussion as to whether these particular items are bogus or not,
but I have a feeling this is not the end of this discussion.
You would think NHRA would know that you can't just add parts or classes ,and then take them away, causing a monetary setback for a group of racers.
You would think they would know something about legal precedent by now.
I think this is a dangerous road for NHRA to go down, that could have repercussions towards other non-assembly line parts...or whole cars , for that matter.

Especially if the data was submitted by the manufacturer and not a racer.
