Stock Suggestion # 1

Lot's of good stuff in Alan's list. There are other issues to consider, especially when you begin to look 10 years down the road and what is possible for the factories to do. Some sustainable structure needs to be established for them to stay involved.

I would add to his list that NHRA separate administration of Stock/Super Stock from other categories with its own staff. Redirect some of the budget from the cobweb positions into actually managing the categories rather than letting them atrophy into bracket race only mode. They will miss capitalizing on the "glory" aspect of performance-based racing unless they make some adjustments and take control. The factories are quickly leveraging their position in the game to take control away from NHRA.
