They SHOULD have added a class or two between B and E!!!

I wish NHRA would buck up and explain why this change was made.. this will effectively force one of the nicest dudes on the West Coast to retire unfortunately..

Ya know, I've had more than one NHRA "Higher Up" ask me what they can do to make this stuff more affordable. I built a car that I need like I need another hole in my head to try and prove a point as to how affordable a FWD combo can be and how simple it can be to do. They should have added a couple of classes.
Other than the Tech people who are on the ground at a local level, there is no one in the NHRA that knows or cares what it is that we do. Just ignorant!

Sorry Billy for sure. I just took a few minutes to look at Gary Hampton's combo .If I'm correct Gary you are rated at 125hp and did weight 2545lbs minimum in DF/S. Now you have to weight 2920lbs in DF/S. You need two friends to ride along with now to add 375lbs. But yet Bill O'Conner's slow roller Horizon didn't get effected one bit. Why would they basically kill some combinations.
Like you say Billy they need to add more classes. Which we probably have too many already. That or completely change all the hp ratings fairly on these cars and put these cars in T,U,V and W. That might be a crazy huge stretch but just thinking out loud. that or add X. Y and Z and let any amount of cylinders run in any class. Another senior moment.

It seems to me that every time I turn around they are adding more SS and Comp classes. I tend to agree with the "too many classes already" deal but if THAT'S the issue then why do we still have separate auto and stick classes?
Adding 1 or even 2 FWD classes isn't going to hurt or change anything in the running of the eliminator.

Bubski,not sure what you run other than your mouth!! I have an A,B and C car and I believe these cars belong in stock just as much as mine. I personally would not run one but I'm sure some of those competitors would have no interest in running mine. You could actually buy these cars from a Dealer compared to some that are running in stock today.

I watched Billy take out some heavy hitters with his car this year and I'm impressed.
It would be nice to see you use your real name and say something positive on here. BP
