Coolest new Thing from PRI

In fact, the LT-1 was never offered in a special "stripper" car that was 800 pounds lighter than the street legal version. So trying to equate the new cars with the LT-1 deal isn't even a valid comparison.

Everyone keeps bringing up the LT-1. Here's the lesson that SHOULD be learned from the LT-1, the LS-1 and other cars like it: They belong in a class of their own. NHRA knew for a fact that these new cars were factored extremely soft, even softer than the LT-1 was. NHRA put those LT-1 and LS-1 cars in their own classes until they were brought in line with the rest of Stock Eliminator. But now, NHRA steadfastly refuses to do the same thing (the right thing) with the new cars that are factored even softer than the LT-1 or LS-1 ever were. There are only two explanations. Either they're extremely stupid and do not care, or they are extremely corrupt and intentionally allowing a dozen under factored combinations that were never street legal to run all over the rest of the racers.

Nothing else has to be said, this makes the thread.

What the hell does any of this have to do with the original thread?? Nothing. I have to say I'm getting alittle sick of some people taking every opportunity they get to Scream about the Mustangs a DP cars. I'm as frustrated with it as anyone. But now you have resorted to Taking over other threads just to bitch about it. Call or write NHRA about it Don't HiJack a thread about the PRI show just to bitch! I was looking forward to seeing what every one thought was the best new product and right off the hop someone starts bitching about the DP and CJ cars. 1 post about the best stuff at the PRI and 8 pages of bitching about the CJ and DP cars. =(

Hi Steve. How was your trip home? We thought about you when we saw the weather on TV
My highlight of the week was the dinner at Bahama Breeze.

The coolest thing I saw there was the V-10 Dragpack. Just a sore issue though. Don't agree that it should be in stock as it is equipped. The throttle body had Wilson machined on top in plain view. What are ya gonna do?

The 2nd coolest thing was the Intek Trailer with the Icon package. You can get a nicely made well equipped aluminum trailer for under $20K. With similarly equipped Hallmark Edge priced out at $13K.
