GM Releases 2013 bogus HP ratings at PRI show

If all the old cars just go away ( which I think is what they want ) How many brand new cars will show up race to race? If this number dwindles, how long before the eliminator is disbanded? I'd feel pretty bad if I had to take my
100K class car and strictly bracket race it. What a waste.
Same could be said for the old cars. I think we need to work together to preserve each others best interest.
What fun can somebody have, racing a guy you have by .6 to 1.0 faster because of soft factoring, and superior technology? Like killing a snail with a sledge hammer. Close competition with what builds the excitement, and gets your blood pumping. Not a sure win with no chance of loosing.

If NHRA is going to blend us into super stock next year, it would be nice to get a heads up. I would stop spending money on my car, and get ready for a transition out of drag racing. We need to work together on this. NHRA is not going to do it, or cares to.
