I wish we were in our own eliminator - but I do that would stop the whining.

At the end of the day - who really cares - it is not our game - it belongs to NHRA and the "big 3" - like it or not - it is about selling cars - not race cars.

Guys find someone to harp on that really cares - I just decided to break my pact with other late model fast car owners and address you guys - they were right - none of you would ever step up and ever agree with change - to stuck in the past.

Go to NHRA an get the rules changed - so far the old cars have been dismissed (mostly).

Say to NHRA formally what you are saying on here - which does not count.

Or maybe we should stop racing our cars to show our displeasure with how the 40 year old cars have been screwed.

Have a great rest of the holiday.

So now Alan's a keyboard jockey. Alan has some of if not the most intelligent posts on class racer. He is one of the few people on here that I enjoy reading his posts. One thing is clear he knows what he's talking about. All I'll say about new cars is this and I've said this before a few years ago in Baytown I talked to a new car owner in the lanes, I asked him how fast can this thing go. His response was well our last run was at 70% throttle and we shut of early and went -.98 under. That's all you need to know folks.
