...or Travis. I agree, however, I am talking about the front office, not the field guys.

The front office knows exactly what is going on. And now we have a new car and truck with extra dollars in their pockets. Ruthless behavior. They sold out thousands of racers by handing out these bogus Horsepower numbers for crate motor engines to run in Stock of all places.

Hello Bruce, If I remember about the time of the way under rated FI cars NHRA had GMC trucks and some top brass drove pontiacs. I guess somethings never change.

Dale you are exactly right. This is not about brand. I would be pissed off if GM was doing this too. I also agree with Bruce, both NHRA and the two manufacturers knew exactly what they were doing.

Talking Re: Another bogus hp rating.

CRY,CRY,CRY
It's not fair
These car killing stock and ss
there not real cars
bogus hp rating

Well boys and girls bitc#ing is not going to do anything. This is the new stock and ss weather you like it or not. Change must happen for our class to make it. It is very simple race or don't race and bitc# about how it's not like the good old days. stk and ss have under gone many changes in the past 40 plus years and yet the class is still here . So when the U.S. Nationals comes around I will be there with my new mustang. Thank you ford racing for helping the sportsman racer.

Really Charlie? I thought it was dad's car since he's been paying all the bills. FOR A GUY WHO OWNS NOTHING , you sure have a high opinion of yourself . You need to sit back and find a little humility.

It's not as simple as you may think. Things may change and you may find yourself in a similar position.

Charlie, it has nothing to do with crying and has everything to do with standing up against corruption. This is nothing more than legalized cheating and NHRA is just as responsible as Ford and Chrysler. I don't think you are clairvoyant. Your vision of stock is not here and if enough of us say no it will not stand. Just remember it took NHRA to change the rules to allow these purpose built race cars in stock.

Hell Alan. We took a buddy of mine's 2003 Cobra (4.6 blower motor) that made 510 RWHP (pulley and tune) drained the tank, poured 10 gallons of C-16 in it. The tuner messed with the fuel curve, added 7 degrees of timing, and made 591 RWHP. So yes, it will make that big of a difference

So Bruce, are you going to buy every combination that's capable of out running you, and ruin it for the next guy? Who'd be lacking the "sportsmanship" then?
