Racer could use current car and any of the motors based on lb per cubic inch instead of continual bogus hp movements to fit choice of classes.

No I am not currently racing so some are welcome to object to me offering thought but the BIG picture is the problem not the aftermarket fit of a head or ccs etc.
Nothing personal about this idea but this was another socialist idea that was going to save grass roots circle track racing and as we all know didn't work for them either. The money will always win out, always has and always will.
NHRA has its flaws but still is the best game in town. Car counts are steadily coming back after the years following the recession and I suspect they will improve again this year with a ever more improving economy. It has its flaws but its not broken so I wish everyone would quit trying to fix it. Its not the 70's or 80's anymore and people are not drawn to cars like they were at one time, there are too many options for people to enjoy their time with so I think under the circumstances NHRA is doing quite well.

Actually Dan, it does. In theory, everybody gets the same parts and we're all equal.
Only certain people, generally those who are personal acquaintances with the powers-that-be, get better parts and better deals on better stuff than the "common people" can get and afford. So certain people go faster and win more than everybody else.
It's kinda like that now but at least there are many more combos and more places to hide.

It's just looking like this is one more nail in the coffin that will contain Stock Eliminator when the NHRA decides to bury us.....

Just like lambs being let to the slaughter....

And I made it bold on purpose because I am yelling

I am a US citizen and veteran tax payer...and will use my Constitutional right to say anything I want.
And there is nothing you can do about it.

You do not even know what Communism is!
Except to use it as a dirge!
Because of my past I still do PT 3 times a week.
How about you?
At 66 can do 30 push ups 30 sit ups and 30 Body weight squats in under 5 minutes. Then add 5 Burpees to the morning mix.
I can run 3 - 4 soccer tournament games Friday, Saturdays and Sundays.
How about you Bob!?

US Army is a Socialist Organization.
Has to be it is not Capitalist. Like Blackwater.
SSI Medicare are Socialist entities...
Republican Party is closer to being communist because of its litmus test.
Your HOA or COA represent a communit entitie!
Try buying a home with out signing their agreement.

The Communism you refer too are oligarchies and Fiefdoms that took that ideology and flipped it on it head with their Dictatorships.

Much like the Rich Oligarchs are trying to do to our Democray with our mix of Capital, Corporatist, communal and Social systems.

Like Starting Fake wars and forcing other parents to send their kids to fight apnother country in made up conflicts none of us had a fight with.

Then these same leader betray our soldiers when they come home.
Regardless if it was Agent Orange or modern day PTSD.
I have a couple friend I trained with die from Agent Orange because conservative politics refused to admit the crap the US Government was slathering on Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia.

Did you know the US has a big program cleaning that up and unexploded ordinance.
Did you know the people exposed to this area had thousands of kids die and born with child defects...much like in the US.
btw it was not just Agent Orange, it was Blue, Red and other chemicals.

Our soldiers today have to take as many as 25 different injections to go to Iraq. Ever wonder why 21 commit suicide every day. Wonder why there are a lot of child defect issues?

I have wrestled several soldiers preventing them from killing themselves in the past. Couple time Taking their pistol away from them preventing them from shooting me or themselves!
Laying on them until medical help came to take them Away.
You never get past those scars!
I put them in jail, in hospitals, I took or bailed them out. Even house two them.
Most were combat trained killing veterans..with real head issues.
I know how hard they hit too!
Have counseled many in how to find a career and some of these dudes are bent.

So don’t ****ing lecture me...I have done my civic duty with honor!

D

Quite the contrary, I have a great deal of holiday cheer.

I tend to reserve it for those who do not insist on or persist in trying to force the views and their changes upon others, and who do not try my patience in doing so.
