The only thing that I really don't like is that some of you guys seem to think that these classes belong to the cars of the late sixties-early seventies. Through out the history of our eliminator there have always been new cars that have been built that have owned the qualifying. Most all of those combinations are still strong runners, but they don't dominate any more. It just takes time. If the line of thinking that some of you are proposing existed in the sixties do you really think that all of those hot rods would have been built? Remember that back then drag racing had a strong influence on what was being built. It just so happens that here in 2009 the factories have gotten nostalgic and are looking at our classes again.

I like the idea that you can buy a cost effective, non emission, no option, no air bag, etc. new car to run our classes. I hope that they offer up more of these cars. Especially if they build the cars that I looked at, but with production normally aspirated motors with production intakes etc.
