There are a lot of younger racers who build cars with tubular K-members and power adders. They don't want the added weight and inconvience of working around the stock K-member and believe if power adders are the easy way to add horsepower why not do it. They also want to race heads up.

These are the racers NHRA is trying to bring into the fold. They are already racing with other sanctioning bodies and NHRA is just trying to tap into an existing market.

The Stock and Superstock racers won't build the Unleashed type of cars and the Unleashed racers have little interest in all the restrictive rules and handicaped starts that go along with Stock/Superstock classes. So NHRA has created a separate racing series.

I also don't think the Unleashed racers would put up with the treatment we get in relation to the pros so the unleashed series doesn't have them. With the diminishing number of pro cars it makes me wonder how things will end up
