Not a bad idea, they could also create a few indexes in Comp just for the new factory cars, make it attainable without spending 50K on engine work and increase the exposure for the auto makers(Comp is front of the crowds right?), give the guys that just want to go as fast as possible a outlet, and get those nice Comp parking spots at the national events(paved)! Wouldn't be that hard to make the indexes doable, you could in theory do it now, but not with the full motor menu available......it was part of the drag pak literature back in the early days, so its not a new thought. These cars deserve more swimming pools to play in. Who wouldn't entertain Comp if you have a factory car?

Out to walk the beagles, balmy 28 degrees here in MA.
