Do you have a reasonable, solid answer as to why?

Thumbs up Re: It's Time to combine

Combining Classes should have been done when they hardend the indexes, YES-YES combine sticks and auto's!!!!!! way more fun to watch and alot harder to hide your ride from heads-up runs.

Combine! With today's converter and automatic technology, there is not really a gap in performance, save for a few odd-ball cases.

I think there are a lot of people out there with automatic LS1s that wouldn't be happy about racing heads up with their stickshift counterparts, spotting them 230 lbs in B. This is one of the biggest examples, but there are some more like that. If they combine the sticks and autos, they need to make them the same HP, but then that would screw all the guys with powerglides. It sounds like a lot of work, so I doubt NHRA would want to do it.

In 2013, it will be OK for anyone running a 3 speed automatic transmission to run a 2 speed trans and if you have a 2 speed you will be able to run a 3 speed.




With rules like this,might as well run everyone in the same class with the same horsepower rating.
