[QUOTE=treessavoy;359618]He worked as hard as any of us that built a car from the ground up.

That's funny, right there. I don't care who you are (with all credit to Larry The Cable Guy).
I wasn't aware that Drag Paks, Cobra Jets or COPOS had to be built from the ground-up.

I'm not trying to start a old car vs. new car war. Here's my bottom line: running way under the index, winning class or setting a record with a bogus HP Drag Pak, Cobra Jet or COPO is the equivalent of an adult beating up a 10-year-old on the playground. That's the truth, and NHRA is letting it happen. But it certainly doesn't make it right.
