Its ok to allow VW's into superstock, its ok for the new mustangs to have a blower and run at half of thier potential, its ok for the new chalenger to have an intake big enough for a top fuel car and apparently its now ok for a CRATE ENGINE 352 and 428 cube engine to run in the new mustang...????

See, here is what you don't seem to grasp. NO, it is NOT okay for any of those things to happen. Not at all. It has been FORCED upon us by NHRA, we never wanted it, we never said it was okay. So your argument that since that stuff is okay, then crate motors should be okay, doesn't hold water, not even a drop. NONE of it was okay with the vast majority of racers, it is just okay with NHRA, Ford, and Chrysler. So you expect us to say that, since NHRA has already screwed us, again, and screwed up the class, we will be just overjoyed to let them add something else that we don't want. That's a pretty ludicrous expectation. It's like telling a rape victim that, since she's already been raped, she should be okay with three or four more to step up and take their turn, too.

Let me spell it out for you, so you can grasp it. No, the things that you listed were NOT okay with the racers, and no, adding crate motors on top of all of the other things we did not want, is not okay.

Can you grasp it now?

In case you don't get it, the vast majority of NHRA class racers are sick of having things forced upon them, from higher fees for everything, to absurd schedules, reduced contingency payouts, stagnant purses, and the new underfactored cars. So don't expect them to want to have your crate motor program forced upon them., either. There's a reason car counts are down, and local grass roots combo programs are springing up. The racers are fed up.
