Tony, you are mistaken.

People have opinions, I stand my mine.

why don't the factory shoot out cars get hp.they are racing in stock .qualifying at the top,they where on the ladder,running in eliminations.going 1.20 plus under.

[Tony Janes]

The Factory shoot out cars do not have a class that is in the guide. Seems to be an Indy only class.

I think what Kelly is trying to say is this isn't fair to the rest of the stock eliminator field. Either get them out of stock or classify them and make them play by the same rules as the rest of stock eliminator. Did I get it right, Tony?

[Marty Buth]

I meant to say, did I get it right, Kelly?

[Nitro Joe Jackson]

just wondering if the Factory shootout classes will stay now so the new mustangs still have a home outlet in Stock Eliminator? And I'll go back to my take, i still feel the new cars need their own classes like what was done many moons ago with the fuel injected classes. Just my 2 cents.

This is what I posted last week.

"Makes no sense to me. If you were not qualifying for a field I could see it but, how is it anywhere close to fair when your taking 128 car field. Bunch of BS"

Still think it's total BS and needs to stop.

dear nhra...

REALLY with 60 years of experience, and a pretty good playbook written by Farmer THIS is the best you can do in administering the rules in stock (and SS) ??

as a 40 year member i cannot ever remember a time that i could not at least vaguely understand the reasons for any change like em or not, much less even have a clue as to WHY changes are being made... and at the sole descretion of one individual who has no class racing technical expertise.

for 40 years i have paid my dues and entrusted NHRA to be good shepherds of and maintain the integrity of my class >>> im pretty sure i have been screwed.

please consider the impact this individuals radical changes are having on our class and your organization, and if you dont care about that, how about the impact it may have on YOUR bottom line / salaries in the future.

i am sure FFFORD was thrilled they spent millions on bringing a herd of COBRA JET MUSTANGS to indy only to have a 30 year old p.o.s. mustang ii be #1 qualifier... not one they are selling today... way to go pat c !!!!!!!!!

captain jack

oh yeah, another question... WHO's idea was it to circumvent the almighty AHFS with the BS "factory we can go as fast as we want and not get hit shootout" classes ????
if you run it in stock eliminator it runs under stock rules > get busy and pass out some HP to those millionaires ...they earned it !!!!!!!

BILLY NEES for compton's job !!!
