What's your point?

My point is it's the same guys on here complaining about a system that benefitted them when GM brought out the LT-1. When the LT-1 cars were in the traditional classes originally they dominated. Then GM and NHRA worked a deal to put a engine that was niot offered in 98 in a new car. So, what is different about Ford and Chrysler building their cars? NHRA has accepted them and the system will catch up sooner or later.
There are a lot men on this site who have impressive resumes, I want discount that. But out of all of the complaining I see about the new cars I have yet to see one Stock or Super Stock national champion complain about the new cars. As a matter of fact one of the nation Super Stock champions owns a new Mustang but still campaigns his "real" stocker at the same events sometimes no less. Doesn't seem to bother him so why should it bother anyone else? I could understand alot of fuss if the fields were overcrowded with new cars but they aren't. Everyone likes to be the fastest, before the DP cars and Mustangs came on the scene I didn't see you guys looking out for the slower guys in the top classes; seems to me you guys were probably saying guys needed to work on their stuff.
With that said, are the older traditional stockers in the AA thru F classes at a disadvantage, yes. Are the new cars dominating event wins at the divisional and national level, no. So, the argument is the old cars can't the glory for winning class which doesn't pay anything? I understand. And just to be clear, no I don't own a class car anymore but I don't think you have own to voice an opinion. If some of you guys are going to stop racing because you can't win class then shame on you for quitting on something you love. The car I owned was by no way a top notch SS/IA car but I loved it and just wanted to be out there. My reasons for selling my car was money. If I could have afforded to go to a few races I would have been fine with running the index. For me I enjoy being around the guys and having a good time and running my car was a bonus. That's my two cents.
