Terry and Dick what if 16 car field X's 3 wt. breaks with Top Stock 8 top carb cars and 8 other fi,tubo,SC what ever, top one in each run the final, that will force the new combos to run harder to get in the top 8 while only running each other at first. I think that will bring out the true HP the fastest.

It wont happen in NHRA or IHRA. They would lose to many entry fees from the also rans and the odd classes. Top Stock was the ONLY catagory that I ever saw that would bring the fans to their feet and cheer the racers and have all of the Pros from Top Fool, Pro stock teams and the Ha Ha car racers run to the fence to watch eliminations and qualifying. I think it would be a great show as the early days of Pro stock (1970 to the mid 70's) was but Im afraid the time has passed us by. The associations are interested in every dollar that they can get for entry, liscense fees, memberships, etc. Money is what makes the wheel turn. Where would the FWD, lower classed cars, etc. have to race? Would tech be tough ? I doubt it. It happened almost 10 years ago but then politics stepped in and manufacture interfearence. I would like to see it but I doubt it will ever happen except on a local level.
