With there rating they should be 10 of 10 if every one of them ran it out the back door.

Sad to see NHRA allow this issue to create a "PRO and CON" camp on the new cars. They are what is NEEDED to get the crowd re involved but with a class of their own maybe. FX. Putting them in existing classes without a clue of HP reality is doing a miserable attack on the S and SS eliminator racers.

Good post,Dick ...A/FX, B/FX would be fine, but what about the new "235 " hp Fords, etc?

NHRA needs to quit buying these ridiculously low ratings on these new cars...

Yeah , like that's really going to happen LOL

Nobody that I know with one of the new cars would object to beingin our own class.

But you need to convinve the NHRA, not us.... We agree with you.

David I admire you. You guys run your car out with no thought of getting hp. I know Keith and he likes to go fast. Classes of your own is the obvious solution and a win win for every one. Wonder why NHRA hasn't done it?

Could not have said it better Dave - you know I really wish we had our own class

We could run A/SA at Fontana and kill all of the old combos but why would we?

I wish the one car that will be in AA/SA could be in a different class - our long time fellow racer - Ryan

We are not trying to prove we are faster than the old combos

We are where we are because of the classification and rules.

We did not make or ask for the classification and the rules - we only follow them.

As to running it all out - since when do the old combos do that - letting off to save a HP hit is nothing new

Read some of the post about why would a guy run it out the backdoor on a redlight


:-) peace

REALLY; Drag race central showed Keith Lynch running 9.97 @ 120mph down at least 10mph or more. if thats running it all out, well it must have other problems!!!!!!

[danny waters sr]

Could you just imagine them in their own class and then having to run heads-up with each other (yes i can ) and that is the way it should be...Talk about fun to watch. The next question would be: Is the fastest one really the fastest or is the slowest one really the fastest? Anyone ? anyone? ......Who knows ? lol ..

[Mike Carr]

Danny, that would be cool. Having the Challengers vs Mustangs, in a shootout similar to the Hemi Challenge. The fans and manufacturers could really get into that, I think, and it wouldn't upset the other 98% of Stock racers.

BTW, no nine year olds were harmed in the making of my post above.
