Top whatever or Super whatever (super stock ) is not racing its out there putzing around and trying to run an arbitrary number that some body dreamed up it is not a performance oriented class because if you go faster than the magic number you lose. I think NHRA has deviated away from performance based racing and settled for those that cannot for whatever reason race in those performance based classes get to go out there and "have fun"--- I do not believe in CIC or HP hits on Monday or any of the other BS that NHRA has come up with. You race FLAT OUT TO THE STRIPE no lifting no protecting your index, no dumping at 1000 feet none of that crap... First car there wins!!! As far as bracket racing take away ALL OF the electronics and let the driver determine what the car is going to do and we will see how good some of these guys really are. Flame away!!!!=====FED 387

So what you're saying is get rid of super categories, top categories, stock, super stock, and comp. Then NHRA can replace it with Radial Tire racing, Big and Small tire heads-up racing and for good measure throw in the factory stock showdown.

Other then family and friends, no one cares about dial in racing. We lost that attraction when modified was eliminated. No bringing the fans back to sportsman racing that I see.
