I'm sure they would if the money is rightI think they need to up the promotion of these classes, especially since they have huge Smoke star power currently. I think they need to find class sponsors and name it after them. Same as they did in the 90’s with Federal Mogul Dragster/Funny Car.
LIke it. Good idea!With the introduction of Nitro into TAFC and it already being used in TAD I'd say it's time for a name change.
My suggestion is Pro Comp Funny Car PC/FC and Pro Comp Dragster PC/D.
Let's hear what everyone has to say.
this makes the most sense. give a plug to the money behind the series........Lucas Oil Funny Car and Lucas Oil DragsterI think they need to up the promotion of these classes, especially since they have huge Smoke star power currently.

The money behind the series is already getting their plug. It's called The Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series. When it was called Federal Mogul Dragster and Funny Car, I remember people asking what happened to TA/D and TA/FC ? It lost It's identity IMO.this makes the most sense. give a plug to the money behind the series........Lucas Oil Funny Car and Lucas Oil Dragster
The alcohol classes aren’t considered pro classes. I don’t think the word “pro” should be associated. I think a better name could be found. It surely is confusing for new fans to have nitro powered cars in an “alcohol” class. Still, I think the best decision is to name them after a major supporting sponsor.The money behind the series is already getting their plug. It's called The Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series.

Pro Comp Dragster and Funny Car, maybe?
Probably because BADs can't consistently win against A fuelers.I don't think seperating blown alky dragster to a seperate catagory would work, just cuz there are so few BAD's anymore.

That was when Federal Mogul was the sportsman series sponsor, like Lucas Oil is today.Anyone remember when Federal-Mogul "bought" or "rented" the alcohol classes for a few years...talk about confusing - try explaining to a newbee what a "Federal-Mogul Funny Car" or Dragster is (was) lol.
Leave them how they are, TAD and TAFC. If someone has questions why different combinations, there is an opportunity to teach them something interesting about NHRA. Just my two cents though.OK, Lucas Oil Top Alcohol Dragster / Funny Car LOTA/D LOTA/FC
