It seems like NHRA had other motives allowing these cars in at the factors they assigned to them.And now,after three time shots,the top 20 being comprimised of 17 new cars you see the results.
So what's the point?

P.S. to my last post. At least with the crate motored combos the triditional stock cars didnt have to run the crate motored cars HEADS UP in the eliminator or during class. It only affected the qualifying positions and from that point on it was a bracket race.

I know it's a slim possibility but..............

I actually won H/SA class last year at Indy and ended up like 150th qualifier. Also, when I was on the scales after class I was picked for tear down but they ended up telling us we did not have to tear down after they realized I was not qualified.

I just have to ask...........................did you at least get enough decal $ for the class win to cover the inflated entry for the race??
