Just saw some interesting news that changes a lot of things on this subject, and I don't claim to have any idea of what, if anything, NHRA will do.

Toyota is bringing out a totally new 6th gen Supra in 2027 or so, and it will no longer be essentially a Z4 BMW with a Toyota body. They will be using their own hybrid inline turbo 4 with 400hp. I'm of the belief that the word "hybrid" being in the description means it has battery assist. It will be rear wheel drive, but without any BMW driveline parts.

I'm assuming that Gump's build will stay in the books but wonder about new additions like it in the future.
