Re: Drag pak Challenger
[QUOTE=X-TECH MAN;146389]How can I enlighten anyone? Someone needs to enlighten NHRA about these limited production cars but no one cares anymore except the poor racer who has to run these things heads up for class. It is very nice work being performed but these cars along with the blown Mustangs belong in S/S not stock and with a more realistic HP factor. The manufacturers seem to be able to get away with anything they want these days especially if the manufacturer in "In Bed" with the racing association. Just as Bob Pagano said why was the Corvette limited to the way they are required to mount a solid axle? At least the Corvette was showroom avaliable and legal to register and tag for the street. I wish FARMER was still in charge.[/QUOTE
With today's economy how could we expect any of these cars to be mass produced. I think the car does more good than anything. I think the Mustangs are way more out of control that the Drag Pak cars. At least you can try to chop the tree against the challenger. I feel for anyone that has to race against the Mustangs in class, they don't have a chance.
Now, I agree, NHRA goofed with the suspension issue and if they make exceptions like this, there should be parity across the board for all cars in similar situations as this one.
Now, to resolve this issue, NHRA should make a super/special/unique race ready cars from the factory with no limitations on how many cars were produced from the factory. Put all of the outlawed stock combinations into one class with a 10.80 index and let them go. Less wining and more available car combo's.
