Other problems exist, such as a lot of todays racers cannot even change a sparkplug, it's not like the old days you build them you race them, many of us still do, but you see more and more racers having the engines built by a race shop and don't have a clue what they have to do for the tech team to check legality, IE CC etc. and if they counldn't put it back together for the next round, then you know some dummy would pull out a gun.

zip I know you don,t think we were smarter in the old days. this is easy. look at the success of the outlaw cars. this is all engine, weight limit, lbs to ci. modify what you have if neccessary. example catigory #3 this catigory is factory floors, firewall (stock location and not replaced with aluminun) factory front frame rails & aprons,basic nhra super stock rules with some exceptions. backhalf allowed no aluminun trunk floor but, metal ok. fiberglass fenders, doors, bumpers, trunk..to lighten the car if neccessary. this catigory would fit a lot of cars with little to no mods. every class is heads up. the only handicap would be between class winners and then catigory winners. the handicap would be a the tree no breakout.
