We have very good credentials "how to play the game."

Actually, decades of experience on the largest stage.

"The rules could stay the same with no problems. There was zero need to change the rules of Stock Eliminator due to "performance increases". New production street cars could have been listed in the guide and raced with no problems. And then the factory race cars could have been put in their own Factory Experimental class, where they belong."

The best paragraph in this whole thread. This sums it up perfectly. You just can not have a "no hold bared" group racing a heavily ruled group and expect equality. Ron, when did you become so confrontational? Damn! Jim

Chris, suggest getting some "M" and "N"'s made up. Your Dad made some unprecedented runs and messed with NHRA's factory love-in.

Ron, I'm speechless...please don't sell a kidney so you can keep up with the new combinations.
