GM Releases 2013 bogus HP ratings at PRI show

[Michael Kilduff]

What's pretty interesting to me is do the racers building/buying these new cars think the NHRA won't in the future accept cars that make their current 100-200K investment obsolete?

What's not to say in another 5-10 years Honda or Toyota becomes the official car of the NHRA and submits ringers with way underfactored combos that puts the current new cars at a disadvantage like the older cars face now?

Maybe people don't think this far ahead, I dunno. Or maybe some are okay with building new cars every few years to take advantage of the favorable hp factors.

This can't mean anything but that. Almost makes you want to ignore the rules when racing against one of these new cars. Just not to lay down for the guys that race these cars. Nobody who is alowing this, cares about fairness and equaility of all the racers regardless of what cars they race or how old they are. Sad times indeed
