Ya know, where would S/SS be today if back in the "old days" the manufacturers and NHRA would have supported only their top shelf, High Performance/ Race packages?
There wouldn't BE a S/SS today.
There were WAY more 283/220 Biscaynes built than 427/425 ones and I have to wonder what the ratio of 350/255s to 396/375s might be?
I know that it will never happen but it would be nice if a "forward-thinking" NHRA official or two would try and put together an affordable (for lack of a better term) Junior Stock program using the Under Classmen of Stock. Maybe N/S and down and the FWD stuff (you know, the "cheap" stuff) which, if supported correctly, could become the now nonexistent "entry level" class.
