Re: Wow !! Sonoma stock !!!
Everyone is blaming the Factory, But and a big but is that it is totally the fault of NHRA for not adjusting these ratings they need to fix this ratings. NHRA did not have to approve the screwy ratings. Lean on NHRA to fix it. They NHRA are like the odors in DC
QUOTE=A56;272139]Im not impressed with the times one bit on the 352" mustang at all, nor any of the new cars for that matter. The combo is as bogus as can be, a true slap in the face by NHRA and Ford to us Stock Eliminator Racers, just as all the new Ford and Mopar combinations have been. I have no problem with the new cars being introduced into Stock Eliminator, I would welcome them with open arms, But NHRA , Ford, Mopar, please just simple do the basic math and put a correct horsepower factor on them to begin with. It amazes me that our old cars were built with 40 year old technology, by the same manufacturers, and they are rated basicly the same as the new cars. If this all is true and correct Ford, Mopar, Chevrolet, and us as Men, in due time should be walking on our feet and hands like Cavemen. I have zero respect for any man that kicks people while there on the floor, that hits there children, that feels there a better person than another, or that cant simply put the correct factor on a modern competition engine.

Re: Wow !! Sonoma stock !!!
Think they would be rated like this if Farmer was still doing it?

Anyone that defends this crap is just as corrupt as the people allowing it.... No I don't race stock but I did and have many times going all the way back to 1966...... As a 40+ year membr of NHRA I can say this ranks up there with things like Dumping the original Stock Eliminator.... Dumping Modified Eliminator...... Dumping Pro Stock Truck..... Allowing totally BOGUS cars into Stock with ZERO regard for those that have been in it for years and years and supported NHRA..... Thats just my opinion though and nobody cares because money talks here.....

Re: Wow !! Sonoma stock !!!
You know, this honestly should have been the best thing to happen to Stock and Super Stock in a long, long, time and it got totally screwed up.
45 years ago we all got a great starting point to race from. The introduction of the muscle cars laid the foundation for what we're doing today. But after all these years, you'd have to admit that they're 90% scienced out. So with the new cars, we should have gotten a fresh start, something to build on for the next forty years. But whether it was corporate greed, stupidity, or something else it's not going to happen that way and we're not going to see those great minds figure out how to make these new cars run at 110% like we did the old ones. If the cars had been factored correctly, this would have been the golden age for class racing with new vs old, highly teched cars vs development cars, etc. That got taken away from us and look where we're at. It's beyond sad. |
