I have all the respect in the world for the Sorensons, and for DeArmond & McGlasson. But I'm not convinced that either of them can run 9.70 at B weight in 1000' air. I've seen a DP car get into the nine-seventies in 1000' of air in A, in bracket mode, with a lazy 60' time.

I understand the comparison between old and new. I think it's been beaten to death on this forum for quite some time. I think Alan, you have also misread my posts. Can you personally, run a 50 to 65 in AA? Or a high 70 to mid 80 in A? I know Sorensen can.....I've seen it with my own two eyes. Until you can personally run that good, an opinion about the new cars being put into a different class is a moot point, that's all I'm saying. Once again, IMHO...that's all.
These posts are to be directed to he competition dept at NHRA, they're the ones that have allowed this joke to play out. NHRA needs to address the factor of these combos. D cars in the nines.....E cars runnin 10 flat....the racers should be happy the racers of these combos exploited the potential.
