Hood Scoops to Comp

[BPotts]

Why is everyone wanting to throw rocks at the hood scoop cars?? Is it just because of the looks and wanting SS to get back to it's roots or does every one just THINK because it has a hood scoop it's faster? I don't have a qualifying sheet in front of me, but if you were to take a sheet and block out the people that can spend big money, where would most of the modified cars fall on that list? The scoop car is NOT always, automatically the faster car. The honest reason why I have one is because I don't want to be subjected to tearing down like the true SS and GT cars have to and I certainly don't have the money to go run comp. So I guess I would be one of the ones that would just quit and I assume there are several out there just like me. Then, like Beard said, you've not helped comp at all and in the end you've just hurt the SS count. I remember counting one time and assuming everyone could run one second under the index (I can not by the way) SS/CS was just barely in the quickest half. It would also be interesting to see how big of a percentage of the true SS and GT cars run around one second under versus how many of the modified cars can do the same. OK, go ahead and beat me up....

Bpotts : there is or was a strong rumor going around that at one time the possibility that NHRA was thinking about moving the modified cars in Super Stock to Comp to increase the car count in Comp > Nothing more nothing less
