"WHAT IF" part 4

If I had my own series and I wanted something that would do well in a "Pinks" style TV show, I would use "regular" NHRA / IHRA class guides and combine 3 concurrent classes on a similar weight break like Top Stock. Sticks & auto's heads up racing just like you would find in the streets.
So all the ABC cars would compete heads up, the DEF cars, GHI cars, etc. I think it would be great racing, great spectator appeal and great on camera. Applies to Stock & Superstock. No Top Stock rules would apply to the regular classes.
Weight breaks might be an issue on 1/2# vs. 1# but if you can't get around an issue like that don't race.
