Thanks for the support! I must say I wasn't expecting that.

I don't view the FWD cars as necessarily having any tremendous performance advantage if at all..... no gripe there.... and that is not the basis of my request. Without those allowances - I believe the FWD cars would be at a tremendous disadvantage.. if able to be competative at all.
I do see it as an advantage in other ways... mainly safety and in some ways easier to work on. Being able to have room for fenderwell headers and more room around them to maximize pipe lengths, get them on and off, and access to the plugs is something I have to say I envy about them. The fact that they leave more room in the trailer is not an issue.

Reality dictates that progress is inevitable. In order for newer cars to get into the game allowances to construction have to be made.

Alowances for traditional cars would make them much safer - and in some ways easier to work on.

I sent this in to NHRA last year - they weren't ready for this much change - I will try again this winter
