MPR,
Are you running in the AA or A classes? I will attempt to in just a few short weeks.

I know it's hard for someone to understand this issue, especially if they do not own an AA car, but the 2008 Cobra Jet has the very real potential to seriously reduce the value of the older cars that are currently running in these classes. We're talking about more than a million dollars down the drain. Some racers have over $100,000.00 invested in their cars. Sure, we know they we'll never get it all back when they sell them but the 2008 CJs will seriously deminish the value of these cars even further.

What seems to be the problem with a new Factory Experimental Class? Many racers said nhra would never bring back the AA and classes and they did. Vet these cars in Factory Experimental and then move them to AA if they don't have the punch that Ford and some racers say they have. What's wrong with that? Why the need to go out and beat up on a bunch of older cars that have older technology? Competition is good, however, selfishness is ugly no matter how you look at it. The CJs will stay in AA or A after they make the first pass in those classes. That is what the Roush and Ford guys want. Good luck to everyone involved after that.
