Drag Pak/Cobra Jet FX classes

I spoke to NHRA about the process. The OEM's sent their "recommendations" on DP/CJ HP levels. NHRA told them to "think some more". So yes, there was some negotiations albeit as we know now, not enough.
One or more engine combo's were submitted with such an insulting low HP recommendation and / or equipment the proposals went straight to the trash can. Those combination is not on the books. And I won't say what, so don't ask.

I will say this, it's apparent to me NHRA Tech is not happy with the below index runs by the DP/CJ cars at Indy and the issue is under heated discussion. The AHFS has their hands tied for blanket HP corrections the way some would like to see them adjusted and they must follow the AHFS policy (which never forecast runs so far under the index). And like it or not, NHRA has to look at all parties interests before mandating new policy. I firmly believe NHRA is on our side.
