Need your opinion. Any Value to this idea?

As posted on Inside Comp:

12 cars! ( In Pomona ) Regardless of the many reasons for the decline in comp entries. It is time to revitalize the class. Each and every 7 and 8 second Copo, Stang, and Challenger should have a class and the OPTION to run Comp. Throw those badass Hemi Cudas in there too. Any category that runs a shootout, pretty much runs the car out the back door so indexes should be able to be pretty much spot on out of the gate. I hear that many Stock and Super Stock guys can't get into national events due to quotas. This would allow cars to Step UP to COMP, and open a spot up for people who want to support NHRA and are being turned away. Don't make it mandatory, but give them the choice. It is not uncommon for the real fast cars to run the shootout or class and then head home rather than participate in eliminations. Give them a place to RUN IT OUT! This could be a win-win. Factory support of Comp cars would be great. Quite honestly, many of those cars would have a better shot of winning in Comp as well being that there are 32 rather than 64 or more.

Go Ahead... Flame Away!
