I looked all over my rulebook, but I couldn't find any rule that states you must run a wildly expensive car to be competitive in comp. Sadly, the reality is very different.
I think the time has come for NHRA to stop introducing potentially hugely expensive classes into comp (h/d, i/d, cc/at-have you looked closely at one of these cars. The car I saw in Pomona had more technology and TIG welding than Apollo 11).
Why can't we have a couple of closely scrutinized crate engine classes. Either dragster or altered or both. Add a an "approved" Powerglide and no electronics. How about making h/d a class for a guy who wants to run a Hayabusa powerplant?
We HAVE to have classes for those who want to burn a zillion bucks up building a technological masterpiece, but we need to fill fields more.
