Very well said David. (after reading Jimmy Defranks post I'm not fighting with my fellow racer, can u tell?
)
Unfortunately I think a lot of people feel this rule was made because of the Bartons and I can't blame you for wanting to clear your name. Like you, I feel the new rule is not in line with traditional Super Stock rules. They (NHRA) are making SS/AH a bastard class, more in line with SS/X classes than SS/AA where the true roots of these cars lie...
And Stephen, if I was you, I think I would be the most pissed off of all. If they ever threw me out at Indy, I would not have the class and composure of Mike Cotten ! All hell would break loose and anyone with bolts out of their heads would have been going home with me at the very least !
Again, after reading Jimmy Defranks post, I am going to shut my mouth as I know this sport and more specifically this class may be my passion in life, but at the end of the day its just my hobby. Now if it was my business...
Thank you David for posting this. Everytime I talk with someone (East or West Coast), there is always another SS/AH car for sale or being parked. I can only hope some good comes from this and the class doesn't become SS/AHX!
