thats my .02

What i meen is not that the cars or engines isnt built by a rule book or similar..just the wide range of cars and combos compeeting..really making it a ´bracket race" instead of a classrace...i still think that this has to do with more bracket oriented racers just "wanting in" than anything else..guy's that really wanna do NHRA-racing builds or get something allowed overthere..because those cars can run IHRA too!

mr LNorton...I am not that stupid! but why should they have an extra .15..and maybe as some say soft ratings too?
