Just a jealous "cheap shot"

Well at least my combo won't be changed anytime soon for these reasons:

1. I'm the only one racing a fwd 173ci V6 with cast iron heads, in a GM car.

2. It wouldn't benefit me to have my 125hp factor reduced to the original 120hp, because DF/S is the lowest fwd class available for a V6.

3. It's been at least 2-3yrs since the last time a DF/S car was at Indy.

However, when I first started racing my car in Stock, my hp factor was an outrageous 150hp! I wasn't truly competitive for nearly 8yrs, and was unaware about sending requests to NHRA for a hp reduction. My car was factored with Turbo Omni's and Horizon's, which came from the factory with nearly 150hp. How was I to compete with that????
