how to deal with the DP/CJ cars......

Chad Rhodes · 09-04-2010, 12:24 PM

As much as a lot of us don't really consider these cars stockers, they are here to stay (well Fezell may have just moved the Stick 08 CJ's to superstock this morning). There has been a lot of bickering back and forth on here about whether they are good or bad for the sport, etc. I'd like to hear everyone's ideas on how to deal with them. Real Ideas, that NHRA may actually Listen to and/or implement. I'll throw 2 of my ideas out there (not solely mine, as they have been discussed.

1) FX classes
AA/FX 7.00-7.99lb 10.20 index
A/FX 8.00-8.99lb 10.60 index
B/FX 9.00-9.99lb 10.90 index
C/FX 10.00-10.99lb 11.20 index
D/FX 11.00-11.99lb 11.50 index

AA/FXA 7.00-7.99lb 10.20 index
A/FXA 8.00-8.99lb 10.60 index
B/FXA 9.00-9.99lb 10.90 index
C/FXA 10.00-10.99lb 11.20 index
D/FXA 11.00-11.99lb 11.50 index

2) take 10% hp OFF of every combo that fits AA-G except the factory cars.

I preffer option 1 (with some tweaking I'm sure), but doubt NHRA will add classes

Smart, concerning that they are really SS cars to begin with.

I like the FX idea myself.
