What are you guys worried about the CJs factor going too high now? It is not like anyone with a CJ is yanking the engine and ordering camshafts etc to make up for the HP hit!

Throw a chunk of weight in the box and lift off the throttle a tenth of a second later than you do now LOL.

I remember that Drew Skilman was #1 Q at Joliet last year in AA/S. The only work done to the car by his own admission was to put different front tires on it.

I think that having more racers with CJs and DPs will be good. What you will see after more hits like this is a gap between the CJ and DP race car "purchasers" and the hard core CJ and DP racers that test and flog their cars. When you start seeing CJs and DPs actually duking it out full throttle, you will find out who has the means and the talent to make them run to their full potential. Everyone thinks they are fast now becuse no one shows the true potential of the cars. The fact that Skillman's triggered doesn't change that, but it is a good start.
I know what it is like to get hp from someone cutting a late light and wasting it, but my point is you can't control that part. Even if you complain on a forum about it.
