Alan, that's crap. I, Dale Aldo (Mopar guy) and Jesse Kershaw (Blue Oval Guru) always agreed very publicly it is better with all three manufactureres there. Don't get so far out there with your comments. Bow Tie has always been there, just a little late getting it done. I also proposed NHRA take 5% off everything in Stock 2007 and older. That didn't get any traction either. Speed up the old cars, it's what everybody wants anyway. It's better with all three of us out there. Almost all the cars are are out of the old classes and don't bother anybody but each other. And when you are putting shoe polish on the glass, what the hell does it matter anyway. I have singlehandedly managed to move myself up 4 classes. I have presented proposals to get even more cars out of the way of the old cars. Who knows, they haven't said no. And I will go back to my old statement, where was all this concern when I raced my 69 Super Bee. It's ok to beat my brains out then, but now it's a sin that my brains ain't gettin beat out. Maybe the Chuck Rayburn rule should apply; 'If you ain't raced in 2 years, you got no vote'. And to some of the guys that have quit 'because of the new cars'. Really great. Quit what you like so much and punish yourself. Make yourself sit in a corner with a dunce hat on. What has happened is the manufacturers have taken what the racing community has developed and cast it into the new cars. They are efficient, dependable, fun to drive and all that stuff. Just look at any new car powerplants somewhere between 4 and 10 cylinders, there is so much racing tech in them and that is why they do so well. Hell, I'm getting lost here. Too much coffee again. Racin season better hurry. The reason for the cars on ebay and racing junk are legal. All the factories had problems with the dealer agreements hence the cars were sold thru dealers. Even though there are no VIN and were sold as parts, but you know what happens when lawyers get involved. The original idea was racers only, which would have been better.
