Now as someone suggested putting them into a different class would be the best thing NHRA could do. I still can't believe we have 8 second stockers that are faster than most super stock cars. And after looking at an intake at tear down in Indy. I think comp is where most of them belong.

As far as Wilkes running as fast as he did. It's their car!!! They spent the money and the time putting it together. Why should anyone else have a right to tell them how they should run it. If they ran the same combo as I do would I be happy. Hell NO!! But If I couldn't go as fast or faster then them instead of crying I'd go home and work on my own **** until I was faster.

One thing that I have noticed over all the years of constant threads on this subject is that some of the biggest complainers on this site never run their cars flat out. In fact they are some of the biggest "protectors". Many of them have taken advantage of a HP reduction or loop hole to ride the top of qualifying. At this point, I have little respect for a guy that doesn't show for a heads-up run against a new car. They too are part of the problem.

Another thing to note is that you rarely see any complaining when a rule change is made in Stock. Things like roller rockers and valve springs come to mind. Who asked for that?

It has already been said that Wilkes was sandbagging until the car owner had a change of heart.

Most (not all) of the "new car" guys either didn't race before, or were not fast with an older car. They sure want to protect that, an not have to go to work like everybody with older cars. Being fast with the engine that came out of the crate is easy, having to work on it like everybody else has to is not. The sharper guys that have worked hard to be faster, are blistering fast. Anybody want to run Larry Stewart heads up? LOL
