Until they consitently run/avg 1.2 under or run under 1.40 they shouldn't be touched.
If all the AA/SA, AA/S, A/SA, and A/S cars show up at Indy we might see who is holding back. I would like to see those 427 Chevy's let'um hang running against the new Cobra Jet.

Even the Sorensens won't be able to run with the CJ's right now. Only Brent Hajek's cars appear to be close to matching the potential that the rear wheel dyno numbers show (10.51 at Denver in A/SA? Are you KIDDING me??). As the rest of the cars get sorted out they'll all start picking up too. No one mentions the fact that no one has had a CJ motor out of the car yet. I'm sure Ford's Engineers are top-notch, but I'd be willing to bet some of the Stk/SS engine builders will be able to get more out of it. Also, on Sorensen's 9.61 the mph was 136.96. The CJ's have been 139-140 already. When CJ owners get the right converters, clutches, and gearing look out.

I personally think the only combo that will be able to touch the CJ's is the "other" new paper car until the AHFS "sorts things out."
