Also , see my post on X/ Stock.

And more weight breaks in between the other FWD classes.

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?

I feel you Sammy but I don't think it's has anything to do with fuel injected but more to do with the SOFT hp ratings handed out by NHRA. I also never understood why so much discrepancy between model to model or auto to manual. What would happen if NHRA handed out a 30 or 40 hp reduction on all carb cars? I would bet that would even things up! FIVE YEAR SEAT BELT RULE please!!!!!

Change Roll Bar Rule from M/S up
To Roll Bars mandatory if car runs 11.49 or better.
Make it the same as for brackets cars.
You would see a better spread of cars in K, L and M
Lighter car easier on parts.
May get a few bracket racers converting to Stock.

I run an FI combo that has been beat to death. It actually needs to be reviewed and lowered a bit to me somewhat competitive again without spending 30k on an engine. I know which car(s) you're referring to and I totally agree but please refrain from lumping all FI cars into the 'soft' HP ratings category.
