Joey NHRA had it fixed when they had a class for the Fuelinfected cars that was the answer.

Sammy, tell the whole story. You could not run your car on kill cause you had broken your whellie bars the round before and Yes I would still have beaten you but it would have been a better race. I watched your red light then left and put a fender on you. Do not blame us blame OEM & NHRA. We all play by NHRA rules.

Cobra Jets > COPOs > Drag Paks > 90's FI > Carbureted Dinosaurs.

If I were betting on class eliminations at Indy, I could win a TON of money using this formula. There are a few exceptions, like David Barton, and occasionally a Teuton, but for the vast majority this holds true. It makes Class Eliminations very predictable and BORING.

1st round Class Eliminations last year, '09-up cars won every race against an older car, except 3 redlights and a 1 holeshot.

90's model FI cars won 12/16 against carbureted cars, not counting broken cars or redlights.

I liked the idea of the Factory Supercar Class at Indy, but it was all too predictable as well (see the formula above). BORING!
