How Realistic

I still have all the Buick stuff that I got to run Top Stock. I could probably be convinced to put it together if the original rules applied. No fiberglass hood, etc.

I'm sure someone will be along to poo-poo this idea, but cut the IHRA out completely, and have the local associations get together to run their own national championship series.

Have a "central" group responsible for maintaining files/records. Each association submits their results to the central group from each event, these count toward a national total. There would be no actual divisions, but the local series would act as the division. If there were to be 15 'national' events, for example, your best 8-10(?) would qualify toward your final total. Use IHRA Stock/SS Classes and Indexes...Nostalgia Super Stock cars would not be eligible toward a national championship. I don't have an issue with them running, but I think they should be separate. I understand why they were allowed in some organizations.

Kind of like the original IHRA WCS series, no?
