Basically, Danny was not too keen on the idea of putting them in the FX classes before Indy, but when the news got out how fast they were running and how much more weight they were carrying over the minimums it made them realize something has to be done. That may be why there were only minimal hp changes on the combos if they are about to be put into FX classes.

Keep your eyes pealed for upcoming changes on these cars. Good gosh, there may be hope.

Indy is all fine and dandy BUT Danny & Bruce have been around too long to not know what would happen!! They should have seen last year when the first CJ were too fast for the roll cages. Too many hidden interest out there. It will be hard to get all the horses back in the barn know that they are free just like all the SS chassis mods that don't meet the specs, how about FWD Sturts on rear wheel drive cars but the Old F-cars can't do it.
Time to clean house in Glendora in tech department. Glen Gray should fix this!

One thing that should be done is do new corrections on engines either the old engines should be corrected to the Dyno Correction SAE J130? which is to 29.234 Baro & 77 degrees. The old Correction SAE is to 29.92 & 60 degrees. This would reduce the old engines by 4%. Or you could just add 4 % to the new engines
