Make the Chevrolet Win

I see your point Jeff, but the older Chevy stuff, some of it anyway is rated out of competition, like my 69 Nova, 396 iron head rated @ 412. Only has to weigh 3875 in C/SA.

It's inconceivable to me that after screwing Pro Stock up beyond repair, NHRA would double down on the logic that begat that mess!

I am a 66 year old spectator but screwin’ the rules like this in racing is the same as “No Child Left Behind” in education.
In education.... some people are just smarter.
In racing ... some people are just faster.

and not to take anything away from the Bartons and Pattersons or Kevin out there but......... after a year of "Sportsman" Racers doing their thing in FS, the whole thing has gotten polluted by the unlimited funds and influence of DSR Racing!

Doesn't the F in FS mean factory? Don't blame Dodge if GM doesn't give support to their racers. If you don't have a pocketbook, stay away from this class.
