Talking Re: GM Releases 2013 bogus HP ratings at PRI show

The FX classes I would fully support , but for some reason the people putting up the money want the new cars in the stock classes . My guess is they want to sell what they race.

Recently I read that Nascar is doing a change on the car of tomorrow because of pressure from the auto manufactures for the same reason , they want to race what they sell. GM is building the new SS for Nascar and Im sure Ford and Toyota will follow with what they want to race as well .

I dont think with the Big Three building these new cars that they are going to cave in on putting the new cars into FX . We need to find something that everyone can live with and do it sooner rather then later.

For those that dont redo their motors every year you will just have to update when you can if NHRA was to allow performance enhancements ( no disrespect intended )

I will say one thing about the new Ford stuff , part are very reasonably priced , the 5.4L motor can go 200-300 runs on piston and rods and you can run them hard . With the old combo I ran 100 runs was the limit . So if there is a silver lining for the new stuff parts are less expensive and they last longer .

Happy Holidays
