Great idea.
Unfortunately, as Jack pointed out above, there are alot of things in the way preventing this from happening with the NHRA. IHRA might be more receptive, but they have a very limited amount of events and tracks. If the NMCA was larger and had more events at more tracks throughout the racing season, that would be the organization to approach with the idea.

Ok then please explain time required, I've sat in the stand sometimes for 30 minutes with nothing happening going on. I would be buying a new Challenger,Mustang,Camaro in seconds if NHRA woke up from their sleep. This would be great during S/SS elimination, while everyone is being paired up you could run 30 plus cars. these car do not run through the water and just a simple dry burn out is all that is needed, no crewman to line you. Up clean out the slicks, just line up and race. We haven't seen anything new from NHRa in a thousand years to help the little guy. don't forget it was bracket Racing that has kept drag racing alive. I love Competition eliminator, Super Stock and stock eliminator and I hope that NHRA doesn't drop class racing and replace it with index racing as someone from NHRA was hinting at Indy this year.CR

When the factory began building new COPOs, DPs, and CJs did anyone say then that there were too many classes and too many cars already? I can't remember that response then.

Could be the mfgrs of those cars put up big money to sponsor big races.
If you wanted to put the money up for that, you might pull it off.

Thinking of an entry level is good, but.... Every week end there is a drive in track in your neighborhood with Bracket racing. That's what you are proposing and another Bracket race at Points meets is not needed. Think of ONE car to feature and let everyone enter that class heads up and you might have something. I would pay money to sponsor that race. I already Have...using one class.

How about the total collapse of companies choosing to stop paying for class win and records.Companies need new trends,be part of the solution not the problem. Running Legend cars or snowmobiles is a better show than new cars running nearly heads up? A new Mustang with a 5.0 can run at will with good tires 11.90 Imagine ten of these cars running side by side one could be 11.91 the other 11.90 no one could detect the difference between the two cars. What are you afraid anyways, this would help the track with a little more cash coming their ways. I think we're not too far from seeing Outlaw racing and Twin Turbos being part of National meets soon anyways.Claude Ruel
