If no FX class for new cars then how about a nostalgia prefix for the older cars?
NHRA has to quit droping piranhas in the goldfish tank.

Are you being nice to me because I didn't mention your flat feet?

Please join me in remembering a great Classracer icon. The Keyboard Racers Association spokesperson, The Salty Dog, was Done to death by slanderous tongue. He was 400 posts old. Mr. Dog is to be buried with his keyboard. Dozens of celebrities are expected to turn out, including Popeye, the California Raisins, the Hostess Twinkies,and many others.
His care free attitude and willingness to talk trash and offend several people with his incautious remarks will be greatly missed this winter when we are looking for something to entertain us this winter. A memorial service will be held at the Indianapolis sheraton hotel on Saturday, December 8, 2012.
He is survived by a One Eyed Wonder Weasel and Two love spuds
R.I.P Salty Dog

While I will not be in attendance for the memorial ceremony, I will be celebrating his death from afar. To me, this clip describes his life more than anything else

Did you and your header builder invent some new language?

Ohhi, melau ligho Illinika. (No, I can speak a little Greek). I cannot translate the prior post. This is a family site and all.

I can't help but read all of this bantering about the decks being stacked against us "old race car" racers and instead of the verbiage "unfairly low HP ratings", insert "allowing professional / full-time racers to race against us, the true sportsmen"
It was OK to stack that deck with your heroes. If that was the case (and a hugh majority seemed to think it as acceptable), then stacking the deck with low HP engines shouldn't be an issue.
In both instances, NHRA has allowed one side an unfair advantage and as a result, you are loosing money.
