Austin where does it stop? I would like fuel injection, four-link rear, CNC ported heads, air shifter, turbo's, blowers, Comp styled pistons, and any other addition that another competitor may have. I'm sure there are the stick shift guys that would like to use an air shifted clutchless transmissions (contrary to another post ProMod's are using automated air shifters, I do not know about any of the other classes).

PS, I personally know of three racers that are using an E-shift in 60's and 70's cars that had non-electronic transmissions. easy to find in a non-invasive inspection.

The secondary question will be...When stock and superstock are combined will NHRA pay out for the second car a driver who routinely enters the two classes? or...will double entrees be allowed. Then in an effort to level the playing field, will other drivers be allowed to double enter a single car, or will there be buybacks.

Once again Austin...where will this DEI program to level the playing field stop?

DEI?wow.

Flipping the question around you. If air shifters would result in an increase in participation, would you be in favor?

Speaking personally, I haven?t raced stock since 2021 due to racing other classes. However, there is still a stocker sitting in the shop. With an air shifter rule, I can put anyone in the stocker and have an ease of mind that they will handle the car the correct way. That?s speaking from a personal opinion.

NOTE: I am not on SRAC, or was in any way involved in the discussions with SRAC or NHRA.
