It's very easy to be fast when you combo's with phoney rating's. You don't have to do R & D to make your combos fast. You just borrow a engine put it in your car for a big race like Indy then Brag and pat yourself on the back about how good you are like some racer's are doing. Again SHAME ON NHRA for NOT DOING THERE JOB! As has been been said in the past this would not happen when Jack Hart, Farmer, Greg X, Marty B and the old line Divison Tech Dirs were runing the Circus. The real way to fix this would be Class winers only for Elminator on Race Day.

I don't know if anyone has looked at Comp lately but if you want Stock SS to look like they do on raceday xhange it back to where only class winner's get to participate in the eliminator on Sunday....

How would class winners fix that if the cars that win class have bogus power ratings?

There wouldn't be such an issue if the new cars were rated properly and were normal production combos like the 4000lb 5.7 and 6.1 Challenger without the foot-tall teepee intake or the Shelby GT500 with it's blown 5.4 rated at 500hp.

Legit hp rating are all we need. One comic posted that old and new hp was calculated differently. I don't think so. The gravity switch is still turned on. :-)

NHRA has not always been so nice to FORD. I ran a ford 460 in SS for a few years ran pretty good could keep up with most of the cars in the class, how ever the factory rating was 208hp before the car ever went down the track Mr Farmer, greg, and Marty said this will never happen and put a HP of 350 on it was not competive and later lowered it to 300 which it is today.Is it the $$$$$$$$ NHRA may get or just dont care, at that time all the NHRA officals all road around in Pontiac's
