The .90 classes are important to only those who compete within them.
Super Stock has become a "Crate Motor" eliminator with all the different GT combinations and very few true SS combinations.
Which brings me to Stock Eliminator, the original "Run What you Brung" (as long as it was in the book). If it's a mass produced car find a viable class for it to compete. If not it belongs in Super Stock with all of the other esoteric combinations.
You know who has fans? Southeast Gassers Association. Why? Because it's nostalgic and exciting.
The N.H.R.A Marketing Department has no clue what drag racing really is other than Top Fuel and Funny Car and never will. If you view old videos and photos from the '60 and '70 the stands are SRO. Why? Because it was about cars that they drove. Maybe just maybe if A/FX is done right ( Please Lonnie) drag racing has a chance to sustain the sport we all love.
Comp is really not all that complicated. It's like any of the performance based classes. Build a vehicle to the desired class and follow the rulebook closely. There are some real good cars for sale somewhat reasonable. Fastest car to the finish line wins. Faster than -.060 comes off next rounds index. Usually a 5 round race. It's a really great class once you get into it.
