The few real crybabies have nhra's ear at the time. This all started with "Qualiying only" at Indy No class winners then qualifiers. And it's all about punishing hard work.
You are supposed to work hard on your car to get it to be fast. (within the rules). Then when you go faster than the guy that did nothing they factor you.
But I think the laugh will be on the crybabies. When nhra does away with their classes alltogether. And just runs index classes 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0, and 13.0.
Then the playing field will be equal, there will no longer be the "ego" guys just looking to run quick.
Everyone will (should) have the same mindset as Biondo, Fletcher, Beard, ETC. A win is a win it doesn't matter how fast you go.

What happening to our performanced based eliminator? We built a stocker ( factory muscle car) because it never lets you stop thinking of ways to pick up performance. Someone is always one up! I agree a win is a win but it should come with some performance and I am not saying some are bagging or slow.. I didn't build my car to click it at 1000ft, I built it to see how well I can do against great racers with performance and dial. Art, I totaly agree with the heads up dial bull ****. I will quit before I do that. Jeff, Darren and I are having a blast in T/S so if things get worse we will build a second T/S car.
