Yes, I believe him. And there are a number of reasons why it will not change and I can't believe no one here has addressed the most obvious one.
Yes, the current rule gives the faster car the advantage. Most people note the cars in SS or S in classes A,B,C and D as an example. Now ask yourself, what manufacturers have cars in those classes and what kind of working relationship do they have with NHRA???
Like it or not NHRA is in the business of taking in money..... as a non-profit as they claim (which is another issue) or as a money making enterprise. And those manufacturers are major contributors. NHRA is also in the business of promoting fast, high performance cars like the ones in the aforementioned classes.
Those promotions help NHRA and they help the manufacturers. End of story. The rule helps the people who give the most. It always has and it probably always will. It's simple business economics.
There are other legal issues as well but that's another long winded post. And I've already noted the most obvious reason why it's the way it is.
