Hemi Challenge Needs Pro Tree

[EMMONS BROS.]

After watching the HEMI Challenge at INDY as we always do, I came away with feeling as if this class needs a 5 tenths Pro Tree. Actually, I have felt this way for several years but feel like the time has come for a change. These cars are amazing machines with hundreds of thousands of dollars invested to run as a SHOWCASED class at the most prestigious event in the NHRA. Yet, it feels as if the regular sportsman tree takes away from the EXCITEMENT and SIGNIFICANCE of the "THROW EVERYTHING AT IT' heads-up style competition. The Factory Showdown class has the 5 tenths Pro Tree, as well as the new Factory Experimental class (can't recall if this class is a 4 or 5 tenths tree). So why not the HEMI Challenge?

Now before I get any hate mail, this is just my opinion. I thought I'd mention it in the event this was something these HEMI guys would like to consider and approach NHRA with.
