Quick Question,

Will a a mid 60's iron 396 Chevy head or Crank still physically bolt into a DRCE motor?
I believe an original 66 Hemi head or crank will still drop into a modern top fuel block. to me that is the Litmus test. if they hybrid P/S it is no longer a valid class, it's basically a homogenized heads-up comp eliminator class with spec engines...what could be more boring.

I suppose the goal to the NHRA is the perception of diversity, I wouldn't be suprised if there aren't 'back-door' incentives to rebody your Camaro to a dodge or a Mustang...that might actually appeal to the Summit or Jegs teams.

Brand loyalty has almost completely vanished from motorsports, sadly it's all about the show anymore. It means no more than the corporate "Stadium Naming" in the NFL. Things that mattered to older generations for the most part were not passed down to younger generations. Maybe if we had all the distractions and diversions in our day that kids have today we would at least be able to understand it better.
