Factory experimental

Jack,
No one would ever think that you were off yours meds.

I'm glad Ford wants to come back into Class racing but many of us think the New Supercharged Cobra Jets have been misclassified. We have little or no faith in nhra to correct this situation when they are the ones who admitted the car into Stock in the first place. This car is a game changer, there is no way that it can be compared to any other car that has been allowed to run in Stock. It will take years for the ahfs to catch up to this one and in that time it will have a viral effect on the upper classes; approximately 300 cars. nhra is increasing quotas to help with their bottom line. If what I'm told is true, this new CJ will cause many class racers to move out of drag racing.

This is not one of those deals where we have to wait'n see. These new CJs belong in a Factory Experimental class where they can be vetted for several seasons and then moved down if they are duds; which, by the way, they are not. These cars can run mid 9.50s at over 143 mph. What are we going to do with them? And why does Ford have such a great desire to beat up on a bunch of old cars with their Rocket? Ford should pick on somebody their own size, like GM and Chrsyler in Factory Experimental.

Some of these cars have some tech problems already and it will be interesting to see whether Ford and nhra make them go away.
