Class Racing Farce

It's not the fat wallet or great builder that disheartens me. It's the stoke of NHRA's pen.
302ci Ford at 133 hp or there about depending on the body vs 283 Chevrolet at 170 hp.
Bigger bore and more cubic inches is worth -37 hp? You don't need NHRA's sometimes used factoring to see that that isn't right. I'm not faulting those that are running the combination. They are just using what was given them.They would still be tough at 180 hp but at least the field would be leveled a little. My rant for the month and I've used it up early.
