Hold on a sec, let me check my wallet... Hm. Somehow, it appears that this "opportunity" isn't available to me. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I'd have one of each. That still wouldn't make them factored right or put them in the right class.

Go to the source (not that it will do any good), but singling out people for taking advantage of an opportunity because they can is wrong. I'd be surprised if you wouldn't have taken advantage of any combo if you could have!
That, I will agree with. The people buying/building the new cars are playing within the rules, and I don't fault them for doing so. The blame lies squarely upon NHRA and the manufacturers. That being said, people are more than welcome to take advantage of the rules all they want, but don't insult anyone's intelligence by trying to say with a straight face that the HP factors aren't a joke. I have no problem with someone if they're just honest and says, "Yeah, they're underrated, but that's what NHRA gave us, so I'm gettin' while the gettin's good."

Isnt this basically a crate motor car?
Might look like it until you compare the specs on these new "crate motor" cars to our crate motor cars. There is no comparison. And IHRA Crate Motor cars are still Stockers - not factory-built race cars. Let me know when NHRA adds 'the rest of' the crate motor classes... No, never mind. There's a reason I don't run NHRA, and it ain't because they don't have Crate Motor Stock.

Again -- I *love* the new cars. Just put them in the right place, with reasonable HP factors. Got no problem with the people that've bought or built them. The blame is NHRA's.
