Re: NHRA Changes the Rules Today
 
The only reason to run a class where you have no chance is make one run for NHRA's database to prove you can't run the numbers and maybe they will adjust the weight breaks down the road. If no one in a DP makes a run, then I'd bet they leave the breaks where they are now.

Stock Eliminator this last few years has truly become a circus act with a high admission fee. The owners of the new cars are going through no pains that most of us have felt for a few years.

edit: sanctioning body and manuf. dont understand

I'm not sure if I agree with that. I stated some time back that even though some of the cj's have been in the 8.90's, they are now going to have to add 3 to 4 hundred pounds to their cars from what they weighed in AA or AAA. That will slow them down 3 to 4 tenths, plus change the whole set up of the car. The V-10's seem to be in the 9.20 range now, so by adding 100lbs that looks to me like it would even things up somewhat and I don't believe it is changing their set up near as much. just my .02 cents worth.

Now you all know how I felt in the mid nineties when the lt-1' s came out and where killing my little 67 camaro with a glide. But it is amazing how I tried for 20 years to get a three speed approved for my 67 camaro with no approval. But now that the new cars dodges need them to be equal with the fords and chevy's it gets approved.
Politics in NHRA Amazing.

Typing error being corrected to reflect 3475 for V10. Thanks

That is lighter than what my old max wedge used to weigh!

But to keep it on topic, the rule change all of the sudden does seem unfair

Mr. Jeff,

You have to keep in mind that Ford is NHRA's favorite! It's all about the non-for-profit politics!

To the guys on this thread complaining about the dp's, doesnt nhra give yall the chance to go up or down a class? If so why dont yall and get away from all the bad a@# dp's? Im just asking cuz i know we have switched classes to help fellow racers that we did not want to bump heads with. Seems like that would be the easy fix instead of beating the dead horse. Go to g/sa i can all most promise you that there will be no dp's there!
