CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - How the factory "Package" cars may save Stock

No, drooze, the new factory cars will not soon be correctly factored. In case you have not figured it out, the reason the indexes were lowered, the AHFS was altered, and the AHFS was removed from the control of people who know Stock and Super Stock, is to protect the new soft factors. Even if all of the above had NOT been done, the new cars wouldn't be correctly factored for 4-5 years at best.

The new factory cars have been here for a year already. How much "awesome, incredible, extra exposure" have they brought to Stock and Super Stock? Damned little, if any. And they won't bring any more exposure this year, either. Because NHRA doesn't care about exposure for Stock and Super Stock.

The only thing that can bring Stock and Super Stock back to their former glory is to have the right people involved in managing and promoting the classes. That will not happen so long as the current people control NHRA, and so long as NHRA exerts the majority of control over Stock and Super Stock.
