Here's another way that the cars could be classed quicker then they are now, give any combo (new car andold) that hasn't been run for 10 years, give them an entry level of factory HP plus 100 HP. Let the new combo's race to get HP off rather then giving them a free trip to the top of the quailifing sheet the way it is now. It is rediculous that the new combo's can bag to the 1000' so they can determine if the combo gets HP or not. NHRA should be do their jobs, that's what we pay for with the membership to NHRA and subscription to ND. Police the classes as much as possible, not take the laid back BS that they are putting out now.
If you look at the Hemi Head thread, here again, NHRA isn't doing what they should be doing. The rules shouldn't be basterized for more power, they should stick to factory specs. and castings.
At the time, Greg Xacalis was a pain in the ***, but looking back, he is what NHRA should be standing for. He was a no BS tech person and if it didn't look right to him, you went home! If you couldn't prove that that is the way the parts came from the factory, he didn't accept it.
