I'm sorry but S/G S/ST just too predictable.Throttle stops, electric shifters......Spectators know seat of the pants racing and they can tell one car from another. That's what makes it exciting. Stockers and SS doing wheelies gets people excited. It's all about the show.

Yes it is about the show.Try to explain to a new spectator about index's, dial in's, breakouts etc.You get the deer in the headlights look. Heads up whoever gets to finish line first.How about a no breakout 32 car qualified Stock and separate SS against your index race a la comp eliminator. Which by the way ain't too healthly.The factoring system would get a workout. . See a big influx of young comp eliminator racers?

Yes but the Unleashed was cancelled and all the other classes with it.


NMCA has those classes now, including Pro Mod down to the heads up street class with a 30 mile cruise before you run.


They made it work, NHRA just can't
