Really Dan. Lets look at your concerns. #4; What new generation of cars are restricted from competing in S/SS? Seems to be no shortage of newer Mustangs, Camaros and Challengers running in these classes. Of course, like it has been for over 1/2 century, any combination has to be in the NHRA classification guide to be eligible, and have all the required specs and numbers to be in the guide, otherwise how could anything be checked for compliance?
#5; What rules preventing "cars from other associations" from competing, other than following the NHRA rules that have been in print for decades? Just because somebody decided to build a car that does not meet NHRAs rules and specs, & chose to build an oddball fringe classed car, that was only legal to run in " another association" , and that "other association" decided despite having many , many oddball classes, there was not enough interest to warrant continuing to to host these classes, I fail to see how that is NHRAs problem. If you want to run a NHRA Stock or S/S class, build or buy a car that meets the class requirements. Simple, right?
#6, really, seat belts and helmets are "excessive" in your eyes? Words fail me on that one!
