1 Mag
1 Spec pump
No more Bat Cars-Body reverts to specs of 70s bodys w/spoilers allowed for safety.

Pro Stock
358 CI
FI
Manufacturer engine Ford/Ford GM/GM Mopar/Mopar

PSB-No changes

Comp becomes top sportsman classes at nationals-No T/S or T/D

S/C-S/G-S/St run all nationals-Entries depend on track curfew schedule time frame.

S/SS-80 car fields when no class and 100-120 depending on that curfew schedules.

Last but not least.No a$$holes shooting shirts into stands.no Evel Knevel wannabes
riding on front wheel.(unless they fly off and smooch their mugs on the asphault.

Please feel free to add any suggestions.Some changes really need to be made to save our sport.

Bill D. your suggestions are welcomed too.Gary also,as long as Bush,Republicans and the 2%ers are left out.

No Problem Ed, I'd rather talk about drag racing anyway....

Your Top Fuel and Funny Car ideas can include a return of 1/4 mile racing, and if those figures you listed will slow them down a bit, then that would be cool...don't ya think?

As For Pro Stock, I like your addition of FI, but (since I haven't forgotten about Buddy Ingersols '87 Buick Regal GNX), I'd like to see Turbo Charged V6's included in that too.

I'd like to see T/S & T/D go away tpp(we don't really need Super Comp & Super Gas on steroids do we?), and MODIFIED ELIMINATOR come back! I miss those B/SM Mustangs & Mavericks, duking it out (as well as those also cool C/SM Chevy II Nova's...didn't Garley Daniels drive on of them?).

As for our classes, I'd like to see our .30 added back! If singleton runs for class have to run against other cars/classes, then they do it off of dial in's not indexes (with breakouts involved)...under Glendora's new rule, only those with the money to severely outrun their indexes will likely win with this inconsiderate new "no-breakouts" rule. Moreover, if rwd stockers can have wheelie bars, then fwd cars can have them too...geez with my front end staying level, I might gain a tenth on my 60ft's...Imagine that??? Oh, and one more thing, if you race an engine that was both built with a carb and f.i., then you would be able to run either combo consistent with the specs for the original set-up...meaning I could ditch my f.i. system on my '86 engine, and replace it with an oem early '80's carbureted one instead (with the appropriate wiring harness to boot)...then I could ditch my Calmap, and go back to my screw drivers and wrenches....THOSE WERE THE DAYS!!!

I'd finally like to see a Div. 8 (and possibly a Div. 9) added to reduce the geographic sizes of Div's 4, 5, 6, & 7, with more focus on reducing the lower 48 states geographic sizes, and allow those northern most Div.s to have a lower American base to encompass the bordered Canadian Provinces.

Bring back the acceptance of Aviation Fuel to the Sportsman classes!!!

Now what do you think of those ideas Ed....btw, considering how we differ on other things, I'm honored that you singled me (and Bill D.) out in your request for input here.
