I'm not too impressed with some of you so far. Being upset about HP is one thing, but personal attacks against DP and CJ owners/ drivers is a whole 'nother ball game. I thought you guys wanted new blood in your sport? Some of you don't act that way.

If this is the kind of reception I can expect every weekend, I'll go back to road racing where competitors are actually willing to help each other out.
As others have said, take the comments with a grain of salt. Its a sport that invokes passion, especially among those who have invested decades of blood sweat and tears to build and perfect their combination only to have it put at risk with the stroke of a pen....there is a very legitimate observation about the parity or lack thereoff....but its the passion that validates the sport.......go to your local stock/superstock combos, divisional races for both the NHRA and IHRA, the .90 racers, etc and I am sure you will find good people enjoying something they choose to be doing, when they could be doing something else.....
