Charley,

I realize rules change with the times and we must adapt to the best of our abilities. That doesn't mean that this situation was created by a rule change. It is more like the NHRA is not enforcing their own rules fairly.

I have seen where some are laying the blame somewhat on the people like yourself in taking advantage of the misapplication of the rules or no application in this case. I have not blamed you, Jeff Teuton, or any of the others. I blame the NHRA for being so shortsighted and blind to the implications of their decision. Especially when there were similar situations in the past that took too long to rectify. Read this as the LT1s and the creation of the FI classes.

They have a map as to how to correct it. There is no reason to wait 3 years or even 3 months to fix it. The obvious fix is the Factory Experimental designation for these cars and for the Camaros if GM ever intends to follow the same path.

The only compelling reason not to do it or to defend their current classification is if racers running these cars feel the need for such an unfair advantage to make rounds. What is sportsman about that?
