The most potent Stockers on the track make 80 to 100 horsepower less than the new Mustangs. nhra and Ford should have put these cars in Factory Experimental or a class like AAA, if they were at all interested in fairly classifing these cars. It may take them awhile to get these cars settled down; but they will. Indy should be the proof in the pudding.
