Just a jealous "cheap shot"

Have nothing but respect for them to run that fast after being hit so many times. It is NHRA's factoring system that is controversial. When the Fords were dropped into U there were several on here that predicted their #1 qualifying potential, and were right. I believe that I had heard that Mike was trying to knock the crap our of the index and didn't mind the HP. Believe me I was rooting for him so them Fords would go to T. But all they did was run faster from hard work. But NHRA can't see that, or can they, or better yet, do they care.

It took years for the Banana car to get out of U, same as the trucks. And, like any smart racer, they're not going to hit it hard so they don't get refactored. They will stay in U as long as they want, isn't the Caddy still legal for U. I'll just plug along and avoid them as much as possible.

How about this. Since Indy went to the fastest 128, let them run eliminations off the index as it relates to qualifying. Nooo, can't have that, would be boring seeing two U/SA in the final, or a U/SA and Dyers FS car. Bet they would straighten the HP factors real quick.

Oh well, it is Indy, lets have a good time and watch what happens, eliminations be coming.
