I'm gonna guess that certain people have friends in very high places?

Those Camaros at 350/325 can thrash our 340/314 Mopars at will!!!

and I'm pretty sure that a 383/330/281 in H/I/J WITH an available Edelbrock head could win any heads-up race that it got into.

and the same for a 426/365/300 in G/H/I WITH the same Edelbrock head available.

NHRA needs to realize that favoritism and special treatment outside the published rules will kill the Stock/ Super Stock sport. Everyone suffers from Elephant’s Memory.

You’re spot on Billy, and don’t forget the generous GIFTS the 302 Feeee Fords received. With one stroke of the pen Good Ole Captain Jack aged 10 years.

What I believe we can ALL agree on is that there are bogus, for lack of a better word HP factors on many combos across the board. IMHO, there needs to be a "fix-it" clause put into the AHFS system to take care of these "mistakes"!

Lonnie, are you listening?

[Larry Hill]

There’s a fix it clause, it’s the Hp reduction part in the AHFS. I got my pink car competitive staying with in the published rules. Like they told me that I needed to work on my car and I did. So how does NHRA fix all the racers that have lost to these combos that got reduced outside of the published rules. I know I lost a heads up finial at Indy to one of these special cars, and it still bothers me.

I don't mean that we need a "fix-it" clause to give MORE combos BACK HP!
We NEED a, call it an "oops" clause or an "aww s#!t" clause or a "reset" clause to undo the HP give backs that some combos have already gotten!

[Larry Hill]

But meanwhile back at the ranch, we ,all of us, are getting hosed by decisions made outside of the rules. I.E. Number 129 qualifier at Indy that did not make the elimination cut. The racer that should have advanced in elimination but got pounded by a gift car in a heads up race. NHRA go by your rules and fix the screw ups.
