As far as Mr. Shaw is concerend he has found these combos for years and it dosent make you a better racer, car builder, engine builder, driver, or what ever to look thru the guide to pick a combo that should be running 3 or 4 classes higher than it currently is running. Its not his fault....hes just playing the game as it currently exists and it proves NOTHING except the combo needs HP and a lot of it..

I think what it proves is there are ways to compete in NHRA, without a big fat wallet. Bob's car might just be the most legal Stocker at Belle Rose.
I think it also proves that you still have to know how to bracket race to win anything meaningful.
There is a system in place to deal with runaway combos. Bob ran up against it this weekend.
