Seriously, theres got to be a better way to have a level playing field for fast and not so fast cars.
Making fast cars run Slow is not the answer.

Well, let's see; NHRA could hire some new Techs that know what a "stock" cylinder head is supposed to look like kinda like the old, retired Techs did. They could stop manipulating the engine specs that now allow Edelbrock and other aftermarket heads and camshafts and intake manifolds that were "originally available on cars only sold to unicorns in La-La Land" and they could stop gluing the starting lines.
That would work!

That would require them to find qualified people which they surely won't do. A better solution on their part is to run Stock and Super Stock like Super Gas cars. You could only run your published index, any faster you lose. No dial unders or heads up! Wouldn't it be fun to see Stock and Super Stock cars with timers and throttle stops. It would save NHRA the trouble of switching back to a full tree after the SG/SC cars run.

The sad part of your post is that, IMHO, NHRA is more likely to do something like that than hire qualified people. They (NHRA) really don't want the complicated rules that go along with S/SS but they don't want us to leave because there are so many of us.

Yeah..I'm all for this! Just adjust my weight to run dead on the index! Hit the tree and drive the finish line.
Would sure save me a lot of money im fixin to spend. Probably have 200 stockers at divisionals.
