No motivation for NHRA to change the classes, limiting engine sizes is just more rules for tech officials to enforce which is contrary to the direction they’re going. They are a “cash cow” more so than us because they don’t require much tech and they fill their quotas. The cow is already out of the barn on this one. But do think no burnouts across the line in SC would be a start.
