As long as one doesn't show up in I/S anyway, right?

If one does, I will get beat ,so what, I am more interested in having fun at the track with my friends. Lets face it, most of us lose way more than we will ever win.

I find enough new ways to lose on my own, I don't need NHRA making up more, lol.

In class eliminations or in a heads up? You are evidently a bracket racer.

Think all the people who voted, about 180, own stock cars?

Probably about the same percentage as to the Cobra/Jet Drag Paks that comprise the 20 or so votes at the bottom.

Before we even picked up our Drag Pak car in November of 2009 , we were already involved in talks, with other Drag Pak guys, chassis biulders, and Chrysler, about trying to get the cars moved into their own class.

Don't blame the current situation on Drag Pak owners, or even on the Fords (as much as I would like ot blame them..) because it isn't, and never was a plot by Drag pag owners or racers to blow up the indexes up and down the stock classes.

We were put into stock classes and race where we were put.

The Ford guys have some discipline and will keep their HP manegaeable and therefore would be an issue in mid stock clases for a long time to come.

The Mopar guys with everything but the 5.9, however, (at least the ones with 5.7 cars), apparently have little or no discipline, and are just out there "showing off" without regard to how many HP hits we get. So it is unlikely that the Mopars will be bothing many of the lower classes very long. We started in F/SA with our 5.7, in a week got bumped up to E/SA, and another week got bumped again to D/SA, and now are an A/B/C car. And it is only a matter time until we are running AA/SA and A/SA only.

And then it will probably happen all over again in Super Stock.

So, for those who were thinking it would take too long to get the auto hp system to work, you were wrong at least on the Drag Paks.
