Default Turbo PRO-MOD/Top DoorSlammers should we see them in Australia?

about 2 years ago the NHRA decided to allow Brad Personett's turbo car a shot to run in Pro-Mod (US version of our Top Doorslammers) within 2 years Brad Personett has won a few races and holds a couple speed records he finished 3rd in the points series.

the future looks bright for another turbo car, the R2B2 Corvette of Eric Dillard which just ran a 5.88@255 at testing and Aeromotive's Steve Matusek will soon be debuting his 500ci Turbo Mustang which should be another 5-second turbo car.

should they allow turbo cars to run in Top Doorslammer here in Australia? with same weight/cube rules etc? what are your thoughts?

Brad is also the fastest man in the world on a 10.5'' wide tyre, running a 6.08@250mph.
