I always like to stay positive and I will be back here next year, but the new cars are so far ahead. It is hard to stay up beat when you see the numbers these cars can run
I feel for everyone that has worked so hard on their combo's. Maybe just maybe NHRA will see what happen this week and fix the disparity between the new and old cars.
On some lighter notes, A Stick has been a blast to watch. John Calvert just beat Ralph Porpora in the semi's, and will run Jason McCormack for the class final.
B/SA will also be fun to watch, it does not have any new cars to deal with. Hawk, DeFrank and Wilkes are the cars to beat. Who's knows what these guys are holding. Kreeber was my pick to surprise everyone, but he lost on a hole shot is round 2.
I know things are looking bad with these new cars, but in the grand scheme of things life is pretty good. Hey, I'm not in the show, but I still happy to be here and still having fun.
They just called stock back to the lanes for 3rd round of class.

Kenny, our old buddy Bruce was right a year and a half ago when he called for these cars to be in FX classes. You could still run them in stock eliminator just not in the same classes with cars that were actually made and available to the public. This would have been a win win scenario , but Ford, Chrysler,and NHRA wanted these cars to dominate the older cars. It's a slap in the face to anyone who has put time effort and money for 20 plus years into running a stock eliminator car. This ***** needs to change.
