2015 Rules

Where's the popcorn

Isn't it funny how the tides have changed. The guys that bought these new cars with soft hp ratings that didn't have to give it any effort to win class anytime they wanted because they had the class covered by .5 now all of a sudden have their panties in a bunch.

I'm 37 years old Charlie Bob and I'm bringing out an 45 year "old technology" car, and since I don't Mr. Hill in my corner to lobby for a hp reduction, it would be lucky to fall out of a tree and run -1.00 under the C or D stick index. There is no way I could come close to competing with any of the new cars that fit in my classes. You new car guys seem pretty pissed off that now you have to show your hand and work on your junk in order to win against the same under factored cars that's been easily dominating for the last 6 years. Karma... I believe is what they call it.

Don't get me wrong I like all the new cars (CJ more so than the others

) but these cars never belonged in Stock to begin with. I believe NHRA got it right. I just hope the indexes follow suit. I actually ordered a 2012 Competition Kit Cobra Jet and canceled my order because after thinking long and hard about it I wanted to earn my peers respect and I wanted the challenge of making a 45 year old combo competitive.
