In a performance based eliminator it is impossible to have a completely level playing field (unless you just run heavy elim)
Years of racing and rule changes have leveled it quite a bit.
Ihra has way more classes than nhra so why not bash them the way you bash nhra. Or is that politically incorrect?

Art,

Putting forth ideas for improvement is not bashing. Everyone and everything has room for improvement (especially myself ). I love IHRA and NHRA, and this new concept for a racing venue and 100% support it all.

I dont agree things are more of a level playing field. NHRA and IHRA has made great strides, but some of the things like aftermarket parts and wrong intake runner CCs are overcoming the improvements. The AHFS is way better than doing nothing, but it is not supported by proper statistical methods. If I don't stay quiet about those things am I bashing? I dont think so.

I love my wife, but if she spends a bit too much at the store, I say something about that too! (Ask Alex, DK, Stacy and Nitro, they know how she can spend!) Stacy calls it "waisting money on snacky SH*^." It doesnt mean I am bashing my wife.

Combine classes only where it makes sense. If it doesn't make sense, don't do it. There are tons of ways as Terry says to combine classes. There are way too many.
