We may agree on something here. NHRA is not interested in anything but money and I would say safety. If you run a class car, you have to tech it. NHRA doesn't want to do that anymore. I believe they want to just see that it is safe and that is it. Teching takes too much time and money. Just run bracket and pay me! The other stuff is not going to come back. Not enough room in the pits for Pro Stock Trucks so they eliminated them after most teams spent millions for the new season. S/G,S/C, and S/S is here for ever. Remember all the manufactures spend millions on new products for bracket racing. This is now the bread and butter. It is very hard to explain to new drag racing spectators why these 3 classes leave the line, then stop and then go! I feel Stock Eliminator is the closest thing we have to the original muscle car as we can get. I try to go to all the Stock/Superstock and DIV.1 races I can make. Usually spend time with Jerry MacNeish and his E/Stocker. Long live the stockers!!!
