It is because the T/S and T/D cars have become the "Prima Donas" of IHRA and as you will see....in the NHRA also. They are eaiser to tech and they dont require keeping track of HP factors and engine specs. They dont require an engine tear down. They take away track time from the Comp., Stock, and S/S cars at the points races and opens. They get the best parking, the better payouts, get to tow to the staging lanes so they THINK they are pros and they are nothing more than over priced bracket cars. To bad the spectators like them for the speeds and quick ET's. At some point in time stock and S/S WILL be replaced by cars such as these....like it or not. Why these guys build $150,000 + cars to run for 10 cents in "yang" money is a wonder to me. They could build 2 or 3 stockers for that kind of money. I guess they just dont understand working within a set of restrictive rules for performance and they use a friggin' delay box on top of it all. Bracket 1 cars pure and simple. At least the stock and super stock guys run for records, and have heads up runs on occasion. Flame on !
