The world has changed and here in the good old USA, we have too many that are on the entitlement line with the same crowd thinking everybody should be equal, life should be fair with no winners. More importantly to this discussion, we are no longer a car culture and all drag racing is on life support now, there are no new drivers in any great numbers building class cars to go drag racing and I would think bracket racing is seeing the majority of the few new drivers giving it a try. NHRA without question would have no interest in another spec class. So other than some local, maybe regional interest from a small group of old guys that have the coin to burn building a car for a class that has no appeal to the sanctioning body, track owners or fans our focus should be on promoting what we have/what we do. IMO, if the NHRA adds any class it should be a 10.5 class. This would put more fans in the seats which is what it was always about. Without that drag racing's future for my son's generation doesn't look promising.
