Gary, another problem which has developed with sophistication and progress is the cost of parts NOW available to run class. Rules bend , NEW HEADS, Rules bend, new cranks, rods, pistons cams springs. With 90 + classes dividing up those interested in the "class "format most wont change combinations to see more class racing.
It has been proposed to combine classes, delete some for lack of participation and All racers are concerned rightly about the cost to move to another class or car. The long term good is sacrificed for the save money today for the individual while NHRA continues to crank out the classes and allow the variations which make it worse.
Good luck getting most to accept change...
