Factory experimental

The vast majority of those of us who did campaign for AA/S and AA/SA had a good idea this would happen. Not necessarily to what degree, but we had a good idea that it was coming. When we were told a little over a year ago that the classes would indeed be added, we knew that they were not just added for the 427 Chevy cars, the 426 Hemi cars, and a couple of the Fords. We knew all along we did not have enough status with NHRA to get us there. It always amused me this year when someone said to me "I guess you can just go get whatever you want, you got NHRA to make a class for you". That's funny, I don't care who you are.

There will not be very many of these new cars out there. In any event, whether or not they belong, they're here, and like a lot of other things we don't necessarily like about NHRA, we'll just have to live with them.
