Which article? Tracy Renck's "TIME FOR RACE TEAMS, NHRA TO PUT THEIR HEADS TOGETHER FOR A MORE ECONOMICAL SERIES"?
If this is the article you're referring to, then I couldn't agree more. Not only because of the tighter sponsor money availability following COVID-19, but just to bring more teams into the sport.
I've thought for years that I wouldn't mind at all to see nitro engine rules basically the same as current nostalgia rules: single magneto, smaller fuel pump and eliminate the traction control devices. This would cut costs, slow the cars down, and make the driver more of a factor.
Some would call these giant steps backward. But are they? I believe it would lead to more innovation because racers are never content with the times and speeds they're running - and the historical time period that nostalgia Top Fuel and Funny Cars are based on were not known as the "GLORY DAYS OF DRAG RACING" for not being exciting.
In fact, eliminate the delay boxes from all classes. Drag racing was never based on cars intentionally falling on their faces right after leaving the starting line.
