Another case of trying to fix the problem where it isn't by taking on the easiest target... the Pros bring in the TV time and the cash, so they will be catered to by NHRA and the broadcasters. The rulemakers are trying to kill a rabbit with an elephant gun with the diaper rules for nearly everyone, when 95% of the problem is coming from the fuel cars, who only represent about 50 teams total, against 200 or so ProStock and ProStock motorcycles, and 3,000 or so Class racers, and 20,000 or more index racers. The best way to NOT solve a problem is to not look at it correctly... addressing the FUEL cars needs to be done, and I see/hear a lot of good suggestions, but the brass at NHRA doesn't seem to want to deal with the problem that way.
