I will use my one allowed fast run (as I read in the AHFS rules) and send em through with a little brake action at the 1250 foot mark if necessary. I doubt I could go more than 1.20 under most of the time anyway.

Only 5 less than yours. Mine is much thicker though...lol back

Somehow, eventhough the "new" factors are wrong and should be "fixed", I just can't bring myself to feel sorry for all of you "fast" guys. That probably comes from me having had to deal with Bob Shaw for all of these years. (Hi Bob)

As far as the money. When have you ever seen NHRA do any thing like this and there wasn't money involved. It's like one of my friends said. They sold out for some courtesy cars and a few pickups. I would also say there is more there than that.

Andy's dad, no I have never ran a heads up where the other car had 4 tenths on me. Or 3 tenths, can only remember once with 2 tenths. The 5.9 DP that will be in my class is rated at 275 hp, same as the factory rating for my LT1. As I mentioned before, just let me apply the same specs as they are using to my LT1 ( back my hp factor back down) and I will be happy to run them heads up all day long.

Btw, how did your car run? You stated no more posts until you run the car.

Also, how is your alter ego lonewolf?

Greg - In my forty plus years of following the NHRA there has never been a year where a manufacturer has not been involved with courtesy cars and trucks and a very high percentage of those years were with General Motors being selected .Was there more those years too ? Last night I was asked who the four people were that you spoke of and I'm not really sure ............

My take on all of this is that the NHRA trusted the judgement of certain employees who were either not paying attention or just didn't care and by the time it was noticed there were many people with egg on their faces and from there it was a snowball rolling down a mountain that couldn't be stopped .

Just like the economy we are on our way to getting the problem fixed ..............

I think Jack has it right. Recovery from both is going to be painful.

Jack, NHRA and Ford and Chrysler new exactly what they were doing letting these cars run with the bogus hp ratings. You would have to be completely naive to believe anything else. It's kind of like politics in a lot of places, pay to play. Or some would call it bribery. Not exactly the behavior a non profit organization should be operating under.
