I think that NHRA could offer class as a separate race to enter st LODRS and make it work. Just make it an option to enter for an additional fee. It wouldn’t have to be that much more to make work work and would drive participation in stock and superstock. Heck, they could make it part of a test and tune day before the event if they wanted to. I am nit saying this is ideal, but it would allow people that are interested in performance a choice.

I also like the Baby Gator situation. Like James said not everyone that wants to run the Gators can due to the low quota and the popularity and timing of that event. Lots of racer from other divisions come down to participate in the D2 races that start in February and run through the Gators We have 4 races in about 5 week time frame. 3 divisionals and 1 national event.
