And, their hp rating are just as bogus for SS. Like the 275 hp DP engine? Same factory hp as the LT1, which is now 340 or so hp in Stock? Bigger vales, bigger much higher flowing ports, killer manifold, 1000 cfm tb, ten more cubic inches, etc, etc.

As WJ would say, Ray Charles in his present condition could see where that was going.

I sure don't fault the guys running them, they are not to blame. If you are building a new car, right now they are a wise choice. The lack of respect from other racers may be anoying. With no r&d time (and a few cases a lack of knowlege) some guys are fast that don't really derserve to be. Most racers know who they are.

Btw, who (and how) knows for sure Pendarvas was 300 lbs heavy on that 9 sec C/SA pass?
