Secondly - You have to redefine "factory assembled". In todays world the factories are spread across continents, with many subassembly and contract assembly plants. Detroit is an assembly plant now , not a manufacturer's plant

Regarding the 5.7 and 5.9 Drag Paks, the guide you quote for the 50 car specialty run says "body style", Not "engine combination"

Read your own post's with your interpretations and you get what you want.

Have a nice day!

Peter,

It appears that there are more than 10 people that have a negative view of the status of these cars. The lastest count has it as 189 on this forum alone. Granted, there are 10 or so that are stating their beliefs and there are a few that are weakly trying to justify these cars. It is good for the entertainment value.

Your assembly analogy is quite entertaining. No matter where and/or how many plants it takes for a manufacturer to assemble a car, the Drag Paks don't come assembled.

You seem to be the one with reading issues. Engine combinations are special runs and don't impact the body style outside of scoops and the like. The rule books says "Special run must include a minimum of 50 units of an already accepted body style."

Re: What would you do with the current CJ and DP car situation?

None of you get the point or the rule, stop bitchen about how many engines were put in that body. Ford has done the same as Mopar, built 50 or more cars and added a list of engines options for those cars and nhra has accepted it. You all can bitch all you want but it is not going to change. Are the hp factors off ? You bet they are, are the cars special built and need there own class as the FI cars did to get the hp close ? They sure do, so what now ? Stop bitchen and get on nhra's ***. I think nhra will make an attempt to fix some of this but I dont see it coming till after the season ends and who knows what they will do, maybe nothing. My 2 1/2 cents worth

Seems to me that you are speaking out of both sides of your mouth.

Bob,

We are in total agreement. I think that the NHRA knows that they have allowed something that has gotten out of hand. Some rumors say that they plan to fix it. Maybe if they get a few more respectfull requests from racers they will actually do something that will make the majority happy.

Take Care,

Daren

PS. How old do you have to be to get the extra 1/2 cents?

Your a bad man Terry, look who is calling the kettle black !

Re: What would you do with the current CJ and DP car situation?

You all have 3 months to bitch, argue and complain. It will keep you from becoming bored for awhile but they will have their own class for 2011 in stock. I havent heard what they will do about the ones in Super Stock yet. Enjoy !
