I think they should all weigh the same, we will have clutchless next year, and close the book. If they are going to factor the cars seperately every time someone goes fast the whole idea of this class will be ruined.

By the way, I called bruce and asked him what they were going to do about the run at the dutch, he said 3% auto only. That was thursday. I guess we will see which side of the fence they want to get on.

I agree, Charlie. The beauty of this class (besides the fact they are hemis!) is that there is no factoring crap to deal with. Same cars, same motors, horsepower wins. If they start factoring one engine & transmission combination different than the other they will destroy the class. I don't have a dog in the fight anymore but if NHRA puts hp on the autos I'll be writing my two cents in! LOL
