I know Comp is not a flat out heads up class with handy cap starts and lifting at the other end most times, but it might be a better option for these classes.

When there is no Hemi Challenge or Factory Stock Showdown race, it would be a option to race Comp. Maybe some would race it all the time as they feel that FSS is out of there reach. Other questions would be, how do you think the current Comp teams would feel about it, and do you think it would give Comp a shot in the arm to make the class more popular.

I think it's a great option. Key word is option. Some cars and teams will be competitive right away, some may have a learning curve and others will stay where they are.
I also think the current Comp teams will welcome the new racers. The fuller fields, more car counts can help keep Comp alive. It is the classic, first to the finish line wins type racing that drew most of us to Drag Racing.
