MHRA (My Hot Rod Association) Rules say:..all cars run 1320 feet with the following changes.

Top Fuel - Funny Car - Pro Stock

All three of these classes are canceled in their current form ..fans are bored, racing is boring, cars bear no likeness to the real cars. Auto makers see no connection.

NEW RULES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Top Fuel - Change to tire size, limited to a 12 inch slick. Make all the power you want, totally unlimited, good luck hooking up. No chassis over 260" That will slow em down. Possibly get rid of the wings and go back to smoking the tire for 1320 instead of slipping the clutch. I'd watch that.

Funny Car - Same as Top Fuel rules 125" WB but car bodies must template to an actual car. Space ship bodies are out. No bodies that work in Funny Car in stock form? Figure it out, that's racing.

Pro Stock - Bodies must template to a real car, limits on hood scoops so the cars look like production cars as originally intended, 12 inch slick max. Who knows maybe manufacturers and fans will actually see a connection with what they can buy.

Nostalgia Funny Car (includes a special sub class for Altered wheelbase cars) and Nostalgia Fuelers - In the program.

Fuel classes are given extra points for executing at least one fire burnout per event. Bonus points for using NHRA "Wallys" as hammers in the pits.

Nostalgia Pro Stock - New class, body yrs to be determined.

Injected Junior Fuelers - Injected Nostalgia Fuel Funny Car - In the program

Class for Wheelstanders

Class for Jet Cars

Super Stock - Great class, no changes.

Gassers are back AA/G - J/G

Modified Production - Its back, manual transmissions with de-stroked small blocks. Wowee Zowee.

Stock Eliminator - Its a big part of the show on Sunday.

Following classes will also be included:

Pro Mod
King of the Street
NMCA cars?
others??????

Following classes are PERMANENTLY CANCELED:

Alcohol Funny Car
Alcohol Dragster
Super Gas
Super Comp
Competition Eliminator (nobody gets it, even the racers get confused)

Nobody from California will be allowed in Sr. MHRA management.

All electronics are BANNED including throttle stops and delay boxes. Its boring and takes the driver out of the car. ELECTRONICS BAN includes being banned from all bracket races.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the basic show for MHRA, would be infinitely more entertaining for fans and racers.

Ideas? Hate it? Like it? I'd pay good money to see MHRA run.
