My opinion doesn't mean a whole lot nor should anyone elses as a single person, however I feel NHRA and possibly IHRA as well have gone about the system of factoring all wrong. It is my opinion thats every combination should be given a realistic number initially, maybe even a little on the stiff side. Make the owners run the cars hard to qualify and then back into it to make the cars competitive within the class they fit naturally. The anwser isn't "more classes" no one has a problem running the new cars, people have a problem running against ANY under rated car.

I know there will be people to say well spend 100K on a new car and you can be fast too. I choose to race and older car, it is my choice. However should I want to spend 100K on that car it would not be n the same ballpark as the new stuff. YOU CAN'T OUT RUN THE STICKER ON THE WINDOW, PERIOD. I personally couldn't care less at this point, but some people are taking a major reamin' over this stuff.
