Also, I don't believe this promo stuff about this being a great deal for Stock and Super Stock. This is just a short term cash n carry deal.

Bruce,
If you would stop cutting / pasting and leaving the original statement behind on the floor, you might understand. Here's what I said in reference to "negotiating"
"The OEM's sent their "recommendations" on DP/CJ HP levels. NHRA told them to "think some more". So yes, there was some negotiations albeit as we know now, not enough. "
A) OEM sent HP to NHRA.
B) NHRA did not accept HP.
C) OEM revised HP.
D) NHRA accepted HP.
E) HP in books.
I think the "big picture" is NHRA will straighten this out and not through the long & arduous method of using the AHFS exclusively. I see no gain for NHRA to specifically alienating and forcing 95% of the S/SS class into quiting.
Did NHRA get suckered in? Maybe. But there is no denying this move brought attention and new blood into the sport. Remember, no press is bad press.
Not everything is a conspiracy...
