I'd like to thank those responsible for our 50 lb Christmas present, you really shouldn't have.

Do you still have to put a number on the window?
Do you still have to run that number?
Do you still have to have a good reaction time?
The good drivers will still win with the changes and everybody else just deal with it!

You have to be kidding me? Really? I think most guys on here are concerned with the fact that that their combos may have been hit. Now they have to go spend more money to go as fast as they used to. Nothing to do with whatever you are talking about.

There hasn't been a 64 Thunderbolt automatic car make a pass during a national event since probably 1966. According to the latest (today) classification guide they (NHRA) must have intended to specifically hit just the T-bolts using the "Dove" aluminum heads and even then only the manual transmission cars. The iron head manual combination was not hit and the automatics with "Dove" heads or iron heads were not affected. Maybe Ford is paving the way for the CJ Mustang "Super Stock" 2010 version especially since the "display" car had SS/BA painted on it's windows at the press introduction.

Dallas is right. The Class Guide has everything posted correctly reflecting the horsepower increase on the Thunderbolts using DOVE head Hi Riser 427 with manual transmission only. The mistake is only in the info posted on the NHRA.com list that shows horsepower changes. That list will be corrected as it has been pointed out to NHRA.

NHRA must have made a mistake with my combo too. At Indy, running with everything I had I could only run a 10.05 against Holzman in the semi-final while I watched him lift about 4-5 times in front of me and he still ran a 9.92 @ 127.69. Running .04 slower in qualifying he ran 133.94 MPH. That was probably lifting too. What a joke. The new cars should be in a whole different class.
