Would you consider the idea of putting the 2008 and later cars in their own classes like IHRA?

Yes. Still in discussion with some people to see what makes the most sense, but I can see anywhere from using the IHRA class format for the new cars, up to making a simple "FX" addition to the class designation for all such cars, as there is an ever-growing number of engine combinations out there that spans back to many of the lower classes. There's already been some discussion about doing a Shootout to showcase these cars, perhaps similar to how they did it at the Dutch. Are the details of that format still floating around on the 'net somewhere? Need to study it.
While on the subject of classes, I have no problem with the 'old' fuel injected combinations and trucks being mixed in with regular Stock, as NHRA has done for several years now. Outside of the 'new' cars, I would expect to use NHRA classes whenever possible. I'll study up on Crate Motor Stock and Super Stock Production and see how they can be included fairly. Been a couple of years since I've looked at it, but if I recall, the typical top-tier NHRA cars outqualify them.
