If a change putting these cars into special classes was to be made now that advertisement has been allowed, major lawsuits would run rampant. What company do you think has the deepest pockets, the advertiser or the place that allowed the advertisement?

It is a done deal. Allowing the advertisement has guaranteed that new purpose built racecars will continue to race in regular Stock and S/S classes.

Not true, NHRA can change the rules or classes anytime they want to, it is their organization. They did it with the FI classes, I do not remember any law suites then.
