A New question to DP and Mustang Owners only

Casey Miles · 09-15-2010, 09:28 AM

The point of the question is that the newer cars are all out of whack to the playing field of the older cars and what can be done to correct the situtation. NHRA should have put at least 100 hp to all the new combo's (DP's and CJ's) and let them loose HP as they fit into classes to be competitive. The way that they are introduced to the playing field is so out of line, that it is an embarrasment to NHRA to let it go on. I was at Indy watching the older cars that used to be competitive fall to the way side as the newer cars just ate up all the quailifing positions. Cars that where .6 and .7 under, which used to be almost 1. under, couldn't even see the top of the quailifing sheets. It was a total mockery of the HP system and a fair playing field.
Just an observer of what went on at Indy, for the racer it was a $320 entry fee to watch your combo got to the crapper!
