Alan the facts are..there are no appropriate RWD classes for the bulk of of the current crop .Most are centered around DF/S and EF/S ,which are low 17's to low 16 second cars.
The bottom RWD class is W, which is a mid 16 index ,but most can run in the15's.
V/S(A) is for V6's or 4 cylinder combos. The good one run in the 14's
How would you equalize that situation? Lower the FWD hp's ? How would they get enough weight out to speed them up?
Raise the V and W indexes, where there are already second under cars?
All I see is a whole bunch of grief for guys that aren't bothering anyone, and trying to race on a limited budget. I say leave the FWD guys alone .They are the only entry level cars left in NHRA class racing.
Now ,.if you want to combine say, D and E, and F and G... go ahead ,but it will end up as a net loss for NHRA ,when the newer guys have a heads up run , every other round, and then stop going to Divisionals ;-)
