With NHRA trying to slow the cars down, I don't think we will see "threes" in our lifetime. I don't know how we could do it with rubber tires limiting traction, plus all of the other new rules limitations being added.

To go threes, they would need more downforce, lighter weight, and no power restrictions. I can imagine a minimal car weight, 700 cubic inches, 100 percent, screw type blower, and multiple wings. Trap speeds would probably go to 350+!!!

The truth is, I enjoyed the races as much when they were running 7s. What is important is that the competition is close. That is where a lot of the excitement comes from.
