I thought that rear engined dragsters should be banned from sanctioning body rules, because I did not like the change.

Today I see that we will need to turn our hobbies over to younger generations, and just be glad that someone will bring that same passion to it. I'm not thrilled by front wheel drive 4-cylinder cars, but I have to admit that running sevens with them is hard to ignore.

Truth is that the number of early car bodies will slowly diminish or get more expensive. Younger guys will build using what they find or afford, like we did. Eventually the newer bodies have to come in to appeal to the new arrivals.

For today, it will make the events bigger, and for people who appreciate more than one kind of car....like me....it just makes them more interesting.
