Bill, I think it probably WILL be changed for all categories within a few years' time .

It most likely would never be changed due to some poll , here or through one taken directly by NHRA. With the proliferation of 10, and even 9 second cars lately, most would vote for pocketbook issues ; ...whatever's in their own financial self interest. We all vote that way, don't we?

We saw that with the deep staging issue .. With the big number of fast cars that didn't need to use the technique, and then some who to this day, don't even understand the issue; ... that vote was hopelessly skewed from the start...
That's just not a good way to make policy in the interest of fairness..
After all , fast cars, slow cars, and those in between,...all need the same amount of grade points, and all pay the same entry fee.
