HEY, everybody should switch back to decaf on this issue. Ford built 100 2008 and a 100 2010 Cobra Jets and another 100 rollers and there are 50 more CJ's and 50 more rollers coming in March plus privateers. That opens up the possibility of 300 plus cars blowing away the index. Not everyone who buys a CJ or a Dodge Drag Pack is a professional drag racer. They bought a turn key race car and have the money to make it fun for them. This does not make them bad people but they don't understand and probably don't care about the politics of stock and s/s racing. That's the reality of building turn key drag cars and it is not the same as building turn key road race cars. Personally, I am glad to see the Fords and Fiats out there racing.How many people would have built this combination and got it homologated by NHRA themselves( yea,yea I know I left myself wide open on this one). What if Ford had hand picked the racers for the 50 cars and controlled the tunes. Would that have made everyone any happier? What's the difference if your beat by a little or a lot, only your feelings are hurt and your still the loser. Drag racing would be a lot more fun if we could race heads up and ba**s out AND everyone was competitive with no breakout. We know that's not any more realistic than Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny ( he's coming next month with my chocolate eggs). I think in the coming months you will see more problems with the indexes as more Fords come out to play. This will make the professional Ford guys unhappy and the competition ecstatic. This may lead the CJ's to their own (gasp) class, like SS/AH but that is still a while away. Just my two cents, as I finish off my Bud Lite. Nitey night, tomorrow is a work day.
