Plus need a custom gas tank and special fuel.

Like I mentioned earlier ... NHRA needs us.
If NHRA relaxed to the 11.50 rule more of us would be right there!

Actually, Dan may have a point here this time.
If he wanted to hop is up a little to run low 12's in J/SA, why should he need a roll bar, etc.?
Are 11.50 bracket cars generally considered better prepared, maintained, and therefore safer than Stock Eliminator cars?

Correct Mark
Simple as a better cam, springs, more gear to compete !
Might even see an interest to move to the higher classes.

Despite whatever reasoning was behind IHRA's decision, The Problem now is that there are a bunch of "I" class cars with nowhere to go. There are events like the Northern Class Nationals that run both "N" and "I" cars. I would think that such a major decision like what IHRA has made would draw the attention of NHRA somehow. Marketing for divisionals? I don't know the car counts that the CM, PS or S/GT classes had but the traditional "i" S/SS cars can blend right in. We've seen the problem, what are potential SOLUTIONS.
