Are the hp factors off ? You bet they are, are the cars special built and need there own class as the FI cars did to get the hp close ? They sure do, so what now ? Stop bitchen and get on nhra's ***. I think nhra will make an attempt to fix some of this but I dont see it coming till after the season ends and who knows what they will do, maybe nothing. My 2 1/2 cents worth
Bob,

We are in total agreement. I think that the NHRA knows that they have allowed something that has gotten out of hand. Some rumors say that they plan to fix it. Maybe if they get a few more respectfull requests from racers they will actually do something that will make the majority happy.

Take Care,

Daren

PS. How old do you have to be to get the extra 1/2 cents?

You all have 3 months to bitch, argue and complain. It will keep you from becoming bored for awhile but they will have their own class for 2011 in stock. I havent heard what they will do about the ones in Super Stock yet. Enjoy !

I had heard from a pretty good source that this might happen. Do you know that it's 100% for sure?

How about we re-class every car in stock. Instead of creating a new class, everyone could move down one class but keep the same weights. A/S become B/S AA becomes A, and so forth.

Then at the top, the proposed A/FX class could just be AA. Then NHRA could correct or adjust the Natural class numbers such that all of the 6.1 Challengers and Blown Cobrajets have to run in AA and A(Even though the Cobrajets are much further form being classed correctly, NO challenger will run 9.40's). The 5.7 and 5.9 could be corrected/adjusted as well so that they would be classed for the the new B/SA(for the 5.7) and D/SA(for the 5.9) where they could run side by side with all the old muscle that we all love.

I do think that the blow cobrajets however may need to have a AA/SA-C for themselves because they will have to have to be near 4000lbs before you could get the factor correct, so I say put them in there own class.

This is my hypothesis / theory....
