Quit buying ridiculously low HP ratings at the expense of your long time ,loyal customers.

Mark, I borrowed 1 of your suggestions and did some checking.

Since Scott Burton's name has been mentioned I used that class (B/SA) as an example. I am sure that there are others.

The record as it stands is 10.49 and Scott ran 10.273. Obviously a very good run for his combination. Four cars, including Joey Wilkes @ 9.841, ran quicker than Scott. All 4 cars are 2014 models, 3 Camaros and 1 Mustang.

I know it seems redundant, but maybe that is where much of the problem lies, NHRA buying bogus H.P. ratings by the new cars. And yes it's been going on for several years. I remember the F.I. years of the nineties, or did it start in the late 80's. Probably several before that, but we are talking about the new (2008 and newer) cars.
