Chad, virtually all combinations start out equal in hp (stick vs auto), but over time the auto combos tend to get hit more and end up rated higher because there are far more auto Stocker. Why should NHRA change that rule out of the blue?
Now, lets play by the rules. The stick went fast and it will get hit on Monday. If something is not on the NHRA site by then, I'm sure all of you will suspect that Ford has paid off NHRA to not hit the CJ. I'm sure that Glendora has the pen ready to strike as soon as the season is over on the auto CJs, as more than two cars have gone 1.15 or more under and I'm quite sure the average will be beyond a second under. Remember, I also agree that the CJs are under-rated and I feel for those who have worked hard, just to run against such a strong combo. So who is to blame? Ford, NHRA? Why are you guys so uptight, the LT-1 and LS cars ruled the roost for about a decade and are now in line with the competition. Was it fair for all the racers who competed against them to have to deal with that wrath for about 10 years? You can say it wasn't the manufacturers intent, but the result was the same for the competition. ALL the manufacturers played the game in the '60 and '70, so now those who "wish racing was like it was back then" can once again have a taste of the past.
