Horsepower Adjustments

Jeff the problem with giving us older cars any hp reduction is the AHFS will catch up with that reduction and have us back to where we are now is a short time. With the new cars this year it's a 2013 next year the same car is a 2014 with a different hp combo still able to run 1.4 under. Now as someone suggested putting them into a different class would be the best thing NHRA could do. I still can't believe we have 8 second stockers that are faster than most super stock cars. And after looking at an intake at tear down in Indy. I think comp is where most of them belong.

As far as Wilkes running as fast as he did. It's their car!!! They spent the money and the time putting it together. Why should anyone else have a right to tell them how they should run it. If they ran the same combo as I do would I be happy. Hell NO!! But If I couldn't go as fast or faster then them instead of crying I'd go home and work on my own **** until I was faster. This isn't T-Ball. Barry
