Crate Engines in NHRA?

I don't understand doing it at all. It's not like you can go buy a crate motor from the dealer, bolt it in, and be competitive. It's just as expensive to either build one yourself, or pay someone to build it for you, if you want one that is competitive, as it is to build a competitive real combination.

And to be blunt, I hope NHRA never accepts any of them, the new bogus paper crate motor factory cars are enough of a joke, we don't really need anymore laughs.
