FS cars exempt from HP?

This statement has nothing to do with the fact that FS cars qualify on the same sheet, but do not get hit with HP. Old car/New cars, who cares, as long as index rules applies to all cars qualifying.

Until people quit showing up to races with their older cars nothing will be done. What do you think NHRA would do if a national event had only a handful of the new FS cars show up? ONLY THEN would they address the problem with some type of real solution. If people keep complaining at a keyboard, and then pay their entry fees, there isn't a problem in the eyes of NHRA.

Scott,
I think you missed it here. There are enough new cars out there that NHRA would get all they want at most races anyway! They really don't care about who is there, as long as we don't get in their way. Only a few big money people get any attention from them, and they have new cars when they want them. IF they need a little more filler, like due to the low comp car count, they just add a few more .90 cars. Pretty easy to fill those classes.
No offense to the people with the new cars... if my lottery ticket hits, I will have a COPO shortly!
BUT, I do not agree with letting the FS cars qualify on the ladder with NO worry of HP. Because of the bye runs, this is unfair, and no way to defend it... math here, not just heart strings!
