Nitro in Alcohol classes?

Guess they have to figure a way to put more folks in the stands but as if Alcohol classes don’t take long enough already now we can wait through more track downtime. Color me unimpressed.

I find it humorous the used "affordable option" in that story...

I'm sure they are trying to get some of the nostalgia Funnies to run with the regular NHRA classes.

To increase the TAFC car count and provide a more affordable path to Nitro Funny Car racing.

My understanding is that there is very little in a TAFC now that can be used to run a Nitro Funny Car. The new blown nitro funny cars TAFCs will be much more easily converted to "the big show".
