How about just giving the new cars the 50 to 75 (a few engines even more) hp they need to level the playing field? I know what some of the best SS 360" Drag Paks and GM LT1s make from the same engine builder, same dyno. Close to 100 hp difference. Just this past week the 360" got bumped up so the LT1 (which isn't at all over rated) doesn't also have to carry more weight in the same class. Last week I would have to be 40 lbs heavier in SS/JA.

I love Jeff (NOT in THAT way) but he wants everybody else to be shuffled around so the few problem cars don't have to do anything different, or (horrors!) slow down. They are the ones wrong, not everybody else. As long as Ford, MOPAR & GM sponsors races, I would not hold my breath until NHRA made it right.
