And what about all the soft olds and buicks from the 80's when GM was in charge of hp just about. Now it's fords turn so shut up and race, every dog has it day. If combos are not soft when they first come out no one will build them. This is not something new it has been going on for 40 plus years. So if you don't like it stop racing, deal with it and work on you ***** or build a ford if it's so easy. How many of you people crying race more then 4 NHRA races a year anyway? I know Greg hill races more then four but Greg is always complaining about something (Ha Ha) Merry Christmas buddy see you in Jan.
Chuck D good luck to all my I/SA,J/SA& K/SA competitors next year you will need it. If it's not heads up then it's not cool.  |
for the last time, GM sold 100,000's of Fbodys with those engines at those HP ratings. they were not sandbagged for a benefit in NHRA. It just so happens that people were really unlocking the potential of the EFI motors at the same time. NHRA saw they had a problem on their hands and created the FI classes, let them sort themselves out and then integrated them back into the classes they need to be in.
