how to deal with the DP/CJ cars......
 

As much as a lot of us don't really consider these cars stockers, they are here to stay (well Fezell may have just moved the Stick 08 CJ's to superstock this morning). There has been a lot of bickering back and forth on here about whether they are good or bad for the sport, etc. I'd like to hear everyone's ideas on how to deal with them. Real Ideas, that NHRA may actually Listen to and/or implement. I'll throw 2 of my ideas out there (not solely mine, as they have been discussed.

1) FX classes
AA/FX 7.00-7.99lb 10.20 index
A/FX 8.00-8.99lb 10.60 index
B/FX 9.00-9.99lb 10.90 index
C/FX 10.00-10.99lb 11.20 index
D/FX 11.00-11.99lb 11.50 index

AA/FXA 7.00-7.99lb 10.20 index
A/FXA 8.00-8.99lb 10.60 index
B/FXA 9.00-9.99lb 10.90 index
C/FXA 10.00-10.99lb 11.20 index
D/FXA 11.00-11.99lb 11.50 index

2) take 10% hp OFF of every combo that fits AA-G except the factory cars.

I preffer option 1 (with some tweaking I'm sure), but doubt NHRA will add classes

Care to elaborate?

Smart, concerning that they are really SS cars to begin with.

I like option number 2 for AA-B/SA

But we do have a situation to deal with though. The 6.1 challengers are much closer to where they should be factor wise than the other DP/CJ combos out there.

Immediate HP adjustment for the 5.7, 5.9, and all Mustang blower cars must be done in order for option 2 to work properly.


There aren't any stock AA cars that can run with the AA CJ's. Not even the DP's can run that fast. The only thing you could get that fast would be possibly the 68 Darts/Cudas or 69 Vette.

Some of you guys that are on the band wagon for new classes....can't even run within two dimes of the same class car, same combination, as the fast guys. Tweak and maximize your stuff before worrying about everybody else.
Yes, the factors are screwed up....absolutely! But some of you aren't even close with some of your own combos. Just my opinion.....and whaaaah...if you don't like it!
