Back in the 90's I would never have agreed with it, but I don't see a better way at this point.
The AHFS doesn't work, they piled up a bunch of hp. on the older combos, and now we have newer cars that are .5 seconds quicker than really serious older cars that are still out there. Look how many people have quit already.

In one case the new car was .6 quicker that a first class old car combo. . Can you cut a better light and beat that?

I don't guess we have ever met, but its nice to see you are feeling better!
Hope all turns out well.

I have to admit that I kind of agree with you, if NHRA is not going to do the right thing about putting the correct HP on these cars(I ain't talking about 4 hp at a time), we might as well just use shoe polish when we get a heads up run. It is really a sorry state of affairs when something that is so obvious is completely ignored by the people who are suppose to be in charge. Greg you were a little off about Lack of integrity.......Complete Loss of integrity would have been better!

I really used to get pumped up about going to a National event that was running Class. Now, if you have an older Stocker, it really is like taking a knife to a gun fight. Its like stealing, plain and simple. I really don't blame the people who have the new cars, hell I would love one, but I don't have 100K to "invest" right now(or ever will). I have raced NHRA for longer than I care to remember. Always enjoyed myself, met a lot of people who became close friends and really had a great time.

Now Its beginning to smell.........

I for one have cut back on my participation at NHRA National events and I don't seem to be alone.

This also applies to ss/aa & ba. The mustangs are only going get faster quickly and Armstrow has busted his azz to get where he is at. It is a shame. I'm glad I'm not spending anymore money on class racing. Back to no box where it is much cheaper.
