I didn't make it so, the whole racing community made it so...end of story.

No, MOPAR bought them their own show, and their own class, end of story. I don't remember any point in history where everyone in Super Stock was polled and asked if the Hemi cars were so special they deserved their own race and other special consideration.

Cool cars, owned by good people? Absolutely.

Deserving of any special consideration? Not in the least.
