GM Releases 2013 bogus HP ratings at PRI show

[Andrew Hill]

The main problem I have with the bogus HP factors is that the performance aspect of class racing is already going by the wayside, and that is the only thing that separates stock and superstock from normal bracket racing. I like bracket racing, but heads ups and class are what make stock/ss the absolute best.

Imagine this: D/SA at Indy including myself, Randi Lynn Shipp, Bryan Phillips, Brad VanLant, Adam Davis, Tommy Gaynor, Leo Glasbrenner, Paul Boster, Vic Guilmino, and I'm sure there are some other really fast cars I'm forgetting. 350 Chevys, 400 Pontiacs, 340 Chryslers, LS1, 396 Chevy, maybe throw in a fast LT1. Talk about a bad *** class race. Then imagine one 352 Ford that's been prepared well and will run about .4 faster than any car on that list. Now everyone's racing for second place.

Andie, who won C/SA and D/SA at Indy this year?

Conway lets not give NHRA any ideas. Beside that would be bad for you and JT. You guys would have way less customers if STK or SS went away.

I would have loved to be at Indy last year, just couldn't make it because of school. Unless I'm mistaken, none of the D3 national events in the summer had class, and I had to pick and choose which weekends I could get off from work. I raced class at Belle Rose last year and would have at Columbus, but ND decided to schedule the Michigan game that weekend (GO IRISH!).

And I didn't mean to forget you, just knew that you ran E/F most of last year, I thought you were in E at Indy, my mistake.

The mustang in D/SA was -.005 on the tree. That's the only reason he didn't win.
