About the Rules and Future of our Sport
I sincerely feel that our sport need's to be more spectacular, of course not for the people that love this sport, but for the people that see some pictures on TV or are spectator's at races.
In every mechanical sport there is always a ÔÇ£King's ClassÔÇØ like the Formula one in car racing or Moto GP in motorcycle racing.
These are the ÔÇ£Dream ClassesÔÇØ that attract the crowds, Medias and sponsors. Rookies are dreaming to be in these classes one day.
They don't exist in our sport and that why we have been turning round in a circle for years.
The Possible Solution:
We create a ÔÇ£Prototype categoryÔÇØ only for the best riders in the world, for factory teams and the genius tuners that we have already.
This category must stimulate the technological knowledge and also the riders that begin in the sport.
I think that when a young riders start in his first car race, he is dreaming to be Schumacher, driving for Ferrari.
This category must be with a lot of freedom in the rules that will give a free way for the tuners:
Maximum Capacity, minimum weight and maximum dimension and a maximum of freedom!
The problems that I See:
At the World Finals I see ÔÇ£NovicesÔÇØ competing with the same ÔÇ£Super stocksÔÇØ as the ÔÇ£ProÔÇØ and this is not normal, this ÔÇ£novicesÔÇØ gat maybe 100 HP to match, and the ÔÇ£Pro can use 100HP more (If they have the right hull)
One of the other problems with that is that today, the ÔÇ£super stocksÔÇØ engines is too powerful to be in a Stock Hull.
You can try to put a ÔÇ£Top FuelÔÇØ dragster engine in a stock Ford Taurus; it will be very dangerous to drive around the corners.
Of course, for the homologation in this class we would require only two units to be produced, Ferrari doesn't produce 200 units of his Formula 1 car every year!
I know that a lot of people will not agree with my vision of the future, but this is maybe the only solution to break the circle.
