Arnold you have been around along time, how are these new cars any different then past under factored combos.

1968 hemi cars kicking Everyone's ***** in the late 60's and early 70's.

The late 70's and 80's under factored olds combs (with parts they never made).

The mid 90's LT1 rated at 275hp to start now well over 340hp

The 2002 LS1 rated at 325 to start now almost 370hp

All these combos were bogus HP to start. This is not something new. You guys act like it’s the end of the world. I ask you all this one question. What form of motorsports is old technology allowed to stay competitive?

And the part about old combos being thrown under the bus give me a break.
Three of the top five qualifiers at this weeks Fla PTS race were combos from 1969 and older.

Chad just so you know the SCJ can never be taken out of SS/AA they are hear to stay. Good luck with your IHRA racing. If it works for you that great. But be prepard for anything.
