Re: What would you do with the current CJ and DP car situation?
I never said that the cars were "properly factored" from the start.
I did say that a car that started about a month ago at 305 HP, and now is at 348 HP would seem to indicate that, at least in the case of the 5.7 DP Challenger that the AHFS works at least a little bit.
And unless you know a way to turn back the clock, I don't think all of the whining and complaining is going to change the initial factors one bit.
I also absolutely agreed that the cars need their own class, and even told you about talks that were held clear back last year about getting these cars into one, and my thoughts that the best thing for these cars would be to be put into their own class.
Back to the tip of what iceberg? As for complaining about cars and factors that haven't even been released yet, what good is that? What can you base your complaints about those yet to be produced and yet to be factored cars upon? Do you just assume that the NHRA is out to screw you, or do you have inside info on the factors there? If you have specifics, let's talk about it. If not, then why don't we wait until there is some pain, before we start bleeding.
Back to the basics of the discussion.
Should these cars be in a separate class? YES!
Now, I have already agreed on literally every one of your truly salient points. (Although I may not agree that I was somehow disingenuous in my attitude about this situation. I still don't think anything is going to change just by complaining about it. I even tried by having talks behind the scenes with parties involved, and that hasn't done a lot of good lately.)
So what good has the poll, or all of this talk done?
Let me know when it really does more than just make you feel better to get it off your chest. And if that is all it does, then just keep doing what you need to do.
It makes no sense to continue to tell each other how we feel, since you apparently don't seem to hear me, and although I have heard you, and understand your position, I still don't see any real good situation changing result from the discussion at this point.
