They have, for the most part, lost focus on the majority of their members AND their customers.
These people (the suits) are "supposed" to be the "experts" in the field of Drag Racing and as such should be right on top of any new trends but they keep getting beaten to the punch by others. And when they ARE "beaten to the punch" they have been known to condemn the "others". Look back at how they maligned the street outlaws initially.

From what I have seen, the FX class has been mostly driven by racers. Obviously, the tech department and OEMs have been involved to pull it all together.

I see it as a natural growth from Stock Eliminator and Showdown. Pro Stock has become too much of a departure from the production cars to show even a hint of the class' roots.

There are reportedly quite a few cars being built. You would think that all the Showdown teams would eventually make the switch.

Only time will tell if the class is viable or not.
