How about an E/FX class for electric cars?

Can't wait to see them in match race trim!

As long as they keep them separate in their own class. With jumps we’ve seen in performance over one weekend with the current electric cars they would have to add 100 pounds a day to keep parity, lol.

The original A/FX was an exciting class to watch. had all kinds of interesting combos, like a 1962 Tempest "compact" cat w/ 421" Pontiac motor. I kinda think that was the fore-runner of Pro Stock and maybe funny car as well. Am also thinking this is the end of Pro Stock (Camero) as we know it now, which won't break my heart. We'll see. Oh, who is going to fund this new class?

 

[DanTheFan]

While this will be pretty cool, I’d still prefer the old af/x cars of the 60s for variety.

I like the fact that they have to run a manual transmission, no automatics allowed.

I wonder how long it will take NHRA to adjust the rules to the benefit of the GM cars.

 

[Cliff]

Thanks Michael, if you look beyond the listing of the rules and speculation of the future, you will see this in the immediate is to address an issue with Factory Stock Showdown, in that once a car goes 7.499 or quicker it makes obsolete the format of FSS in its present configuration and original design. The FX division allows for cars to blow past the obvious wall the class has faced but kept backing up from.

My favorite WFO interview ever. He appeared one other time also. He needs his own show!

I'd love to see V. Gaines back out with this!

 

[Cliff]

Yeah, it would be cool to see some of the former Pro S drivers come back. Mark Pawuk has been doing good. I keep rooting for him to win.

 

[Nunz]

IMO it's more important for new blood to get involved in the sport than it is to have retired drivers come back.
