That's just not gonna happen. Do the math, those car's would be 400 pounds heavy for a six pound break. And BTW, they're in Superstock!

If they were factored what they should be they could fit in a 6 lbs/hp easily. At 500 hp and 6 lbs/hp that would be 3170? And I mean they should be in Superstock ONLY.

Thought to ponder: a W/SA Pinto Vs. any one of the new AA/SA 2008, 140-mph Mustangs.

Finish line MPH disparity = SIXTY MPH~ or, more...

Is that even SAFE?

I realize Comp may be even worse...

But, is it time to split this thing at, say, F Stock, and welcome in the new JUNIOR STOCK (G thru W), in the interest of finish-line safety?

Just a thought...

Good idea but NHRA would cut the win money in the upper classes in half at the min. The Jr. racers would get a trophy and a swift kick in the *****.

S/S isn't any better. Compare SS/AM running against a SS/P or SS/PA and you get almost a 60 MPH difference too.

Bracket racing on any Sunday, at any track on the planet, has the same mph disparity. That's why they won't insure race cars in competition. They call it a high risk sport. I've been passed in the lights by a 200 mph dragster, in my 125 mph Mustang.
