Yes. If NHRA was truly interested in entry level car, there needs to be a FWD class in between 19 lbs. and 25 lbs. !
Also , see my post on X/ Stock.

With all of the newer "flood cars" available, it can be cheaper to start with a newer body style and build a car, than to look for a 60's or 70's classic and have to replace body panels,floor pans etc. just to get started. Many different combinations from the manufacturers are out there. There not all "dime rockets", but can be built for much less than a new COPO, Drag Pak or Cobra Jet.

The rear drive Dodge Chargers, Magnums, Challengers, Mustangs, Pontiac G8s,Chevy SS, and Late model Chevy Caprice police package cars need to be placed in the guide. All V8 and V6 combos available in all these models. All years up to the current models.

Too many years where only one model out of a manufacturer's entire lineup is listed. And it is usually the one that they need for the limited-availability non-VIN package cars.

I know you're being facetious here, but I'm not .
Pay out for stick shift win should pay a percentage more (30 ? 40? , 100% more ?)
Also no automatic upshift unless the TRANSMISSION was built that way and you're controlling it with the OEM computer.

I'd like to see the belts / harness rule go to 3 yrs (at least) because it would match the chassis certification time span. It would just make things a little easier to track - especially for those who have more than one race car.

There should not be any heads up runs between fuel injected cars and carb cars. and a way to stop the sand baggers make a rule to where if you have a heads up run you cant go faster then one tenth of what you qualifyed at. and yes they should change the seat belt rule to five years.

There are cars in Stock that are quicker than some cars in Competition. Perhaps there should be a reevaluation of what classes belong in Competition, in Super Stock and in Stock? Performance? Cost? Allowable modifications?

How about moving Stock classes where cars have made passes under 9.00 into SS, as a beginning?
