My first guess would be 12-20 (on the NHRA side that is). I only can think of myself and these guys (cars):
1. Brad Pierce
2. Randy Hyman
3. Bill Owen
4. Steve Pohill
5. Dennis Chapman
6. Jim Wahl
7. Nichole Stephenson
8. The Minnesota Neon
9. Russ Abrams
10. Myself--Gary Hampton
11. Stan Kopejtka
12. Bill Howell
13. Skip Loeffler

That's it as I can best recall of last seasons racers...any others out there? Speak up....

Divided by 7 divisions is 2 per division or possible ? per area nationals divided by number of classes....= bye runs for class..
Not being negative but if an organization is to be developed to support CLASS racing one of its moves should be to lay out a plan to consolidate classes so Classes could have competition anywhere in the country they were contested.
That would be hard decisions to make or what would have been gained?
Positive suggestion start as is and consolidate per 6 months...

Ok so now there's 14, and if Art Leong still has his Stocker, 15. Any others??? There probably would be more if manufactures sustained product creation like they did back in the 80's & 90's...example; Hooker used to make headers for the 173c.i. V6 engine (for Chevy Citations) , but they don't now...thus I have to get custom made headers (that cost 2-3x's what they once cost as a regular part back then), in order to have them! That sucks!!

Billy Nees has another Sunbird, and I still have my Turismo (that one has been on 'injured reserve' until last summer)

The beauty of Stock Eliminator is the diverse combinations that show up to the race track. I love it. Anything that people dream up. 4,6 8 cylinders, Fwd, you name it.
I think the most boring aspect of Drag racing is the pro categories. All of them look the same and perform the same. Basically the fuel categories are the same. Pro stock is boring as hell with look alike bodies. Hell take the stickers off the front of those cars and put them in primer and you couldn't tell what make they are.
At least with stock and super stock at least you know what make of car is going down the race track.
