'23 Rule Revision for SS?

So what are they up to here? One can only speculate..
A need to pump up the S/S entries at Nat's? The new, friendlier NHRA?

It wasn't long ago that , in order to add another FWD class, they had to do away with one.

Remember, you'll need more "safety" in S/S ...Including full dress uniform, trans blanket? .roll bar or cage, 2 year belts , all for a high 12 index. Now, Joe Bracket Bomb doesn't need a bar until 11.49, but you will.

Billy, We better build two of them so we can race each other at Indy. Not much chance in the combo class, or qualifying, for that matter, the way I see it.
Meanwhile, let's bring in X/Stock too.

Mark, correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Ernie Neal (?) build a Caprice with a baby LT-1? That would be my guess because it MUST be an 18 lb. car.
