NHRA has no idea that the best show they have is already at the track. I guess 90% or more of the Sunday crowd does not realize there were more than 8 stk/ss cars on the grounds for the weekend. There is nothing subtle about NHRA management's turn away from our classes. They either don't care or don't like stk/ss or even worse they don't recognize the quality of cars and competition on the track. We have new vs old cars, fast vs slow, 100 to 150 mph. I bet the car down the first early drag strip had DOORS. Our race cars today, STOCK and SUPER STOCK, are the evolution of that first car.

So are they going to make the national event a "no prep" race?
400 spectators betting at the starting line and thousands more leaning on the guardwalls will love seeing the fuelers bounce off the walls.

Cant wait to see how NHRA handles cars bouncing off walls and contaminating the race surface. Maybe they will impose a fine ! Sounds like win/win. Cant wait to see all the fans bum rush the starting line too! Best decision yet! This is Russias fault!

How can they possibly huddle up close to the car crowding the starting line like in the video ?

...or will NHRA relax their starting line rule just for the grudge racers ?

You are kidding yourself. Those of us on this forum may see it that way, but the average spectator just wants to see cars running on the edge. Nitro, Pro Mod, drag radial, no prep. The alcohol cars are very quick, Pro Stock is quick, but spectators can't tell one run from the next.

You have that right on the money!!!
The MCR S/SS races are BY FAR superior, to our other options!
