Chuck, Maybe its the fact most racers know how it was intended when S and SS started. Most are just too stuborn to admit the 100s of motors and 100s of combination is out of NHRAs control. Not handled by current enough processes to factor, update parts and index all at one time. every new year brings a new group of headache motors not one.
My main feeling has always been the pain every year one at a time for each and every racer watching it happen is FAR greater than a one time declaration that would put us to the final product. Generic classes. Modified eliminator with spec carbs and lb per cubic inch not fake hp ratings which take forever to correct.
AH is there but VERY EXPENSIVE. How about the llittle guys. Do we want to keep gouging them in the pocket every year in the name of "fairness" 4 speed s in 55, 3 speed automatics, Aluminum heads for one brand this year. ANy size injectors.
Step back and watch what works...AH. No mystery factoring on another motor. They are all the same. As much as I know all brands would make a better show I recognize under current methods by the organization it can never work withing the NHRA or IHRA methods. It is too complex for their methods to handle today.
