If you lower the power you lessen the parts breakage...If you lessen the parts breakage then racing becomes more affordable.... Then how many cars a team has could concievably become secondary to the main issue of making the best 3 or 4 qualifying passes you can put together to even make the field!!!! And, like Jerry said in a previous post---go back to a 32 car field!!!! Just say for instance that through whatever means they cut the horsepower of a top fuel car in half!!!! They'd still be in the 4's, and think how much more affordable a 4 second car is vs. a 3 second car!!!!! When's the last time some no name local type team snuck into a Pro Class on their home track and actually went a couple rounds?????
    Hey, that sounds good.
