Even better, when can they be properly moved to a regular class?

From my understanding, the SRAC was asked about adding FS/AAA in a meeting and it was a unanimous "No" from the SRAC members. Then, less than a month later the new class is announced.

What is next after these classes for the evolution of "stock" eliminator?

I can tell you why FS/AAA was added. The chassis cert is only good to 3600 pounds. This year, some jerkoff got the combination hit, again, and now the min weight in FS/AA is 3590. If one does the math, that only leaves a ten pound cushion. So another hit, and the car would not be legal for stock, anymore.

How long before we have NHRA's insurance company saying "hmmmm, 160 MPH cars racing 75 MPH cars? What could happen?"
Although, this could be a good thing. It would be a good time for NHRA to bring back "Junior Stock".
