It could be cool if handled just right. If it was added in ADDITION to the existing classes the cars can run in stock and super stock, then I think you would naturally see the well financed teams put an entry in joining the existing pro-stock teams that carry on.

One approved motor per factory brand. Of course no handicapped start. Top Fuel/Funny Car payouts or higher........32 car qualifying......I can see this......make IT the focus.

Keep the now new stock and super stock FS classes for the sportsman who can not/will not play the go fast under any cost game.

Different people on TV, factory cars people can relate to, could vault the NHRA to relevance for a TV contract........could be a total restart......

Those would be the thoughts of mine, based on my 24 years of unique real world experience with a MBA from a top school along the way..........if I was sitting on NHRA's board.
