nhra stock needs electric car class

Travis, like your story, but applying spectator arguments to sportsman at nationals or any divisional event, nah, there are no spectators to drive away.

I would love to see an electric class in stock or comp. It is time to start experimenting, and the purple Camaro was a great start that should have moved from exhibition to some type of class.

But hey, it's NHRA, none of the racers want any change and the NHRA has no vision. Killed PST, yet trucks are still selling, how is FS going to stay relevant in 5 yrs when there are no new combos? Fans aren't going to stay around ling for a stagnant class.

If I was building a Jr. Dragster, thhat Jegs electric kit is an awesome option. If JD is really feeding participation, the next gen is growing up with an electric option and experience.

I think comp would be a good fit, for innovation, or stock, to keep things limited as the tech evolves.
