New Eliminator proposition

Pro Stock is unobtainable for the average person, and T/D and T/S are still just quick bracket racing. And yet classes like Coyote Stock in the NMRA, while only a few years old, are continuing to grow. There are people building for that class that have never drag raced before. The problem with the NHRA losing car count is basically this: older racers are getting out, and there is nothing to appeal to the younger racer. Give them a class that they can run without a breakout and be competitive in for a reasonable budget, and I know it would grow. Especially given the fact that guys could then run in divisional races without having to travel all over the country like is currently done in the NMRA/NMCA to run 7 or 9 (or whatever the current number is) of events. I'm not saying it has to be a Coyote, or LS, or for that matter, a factory "anything". But a sealed crate motor with a sealed tuneup opens the door for a lot more involvement.

Stock and Super Stock racing as it is now is not broken. . NHRA will continue to tweak the system . Only a very few racers are complaining the majority are happy with the rules as they are now . no need to change much .

That's One vote for no changes...Everyone is entitled to One vote....If many are looking for options within NHRA they can vote also.
