Re: Drag Pak/Cobra Jet FX classes
A good start to lessening the effects of the new cars that I believe we all can live with is to make the AHFS quarterly instead of twice a year.

Re: Drag Pak/Cobra Jet FX classes
One can only hope that something like this gets put in place. I can only see this as being a win/win situation for both parties. This way Dodge and Ford can really show what they got, without simply murdering the rest of the cars out in the field.
I do not have anything against Ford or Dodge for building these cars. I think it is great that the manufacturers have interest in our class, however they are obviously factored wrong as everyone can see. When a C/SA goes faster than most A/SA cars, there is something very very wrong.

Re: Drag Pak/Cobra Jet FX classes
So should the FX classes stay in Stock or be moved into S/S? If they stay in Stock in their own FX classes, they will let it all hang out showing everyone what they are capable of running.
Do you really want 140 plus MPH cars passing you at the finish line? |

Re: Drag Pak/Cobra Jet FX classes
I think they should stay in stock for a few reasons. First they are more like stockers in appearance to the public than super stockers. Secondly they should run on 9" tires to help maintain that appearance. And finally, I want the opportunity to put as many on the trailer as possible to "get even."

Re: Drag Pak/Cobra Jet FX classes

Re: Drag Pak/Cobra Jet FX classes
Putting these cars in a FX catagory would be a good resolution for everyone. The factories would be able to use this as a great marketig tool. The could brag of selling a factory race car to all the rich kids and they could butt heads with each other on a heads up basis,while racing the real stockers (ones with VINS) in the eliminator on a dial in basis.
As far as having one run me down at 140 MPH ,I am not that concerned. I learned to bracket race against cars that went 150 to 160 while I was traveling 114 to 118 MPH. You just need to make your car and your driving consistent.Something that doesn't take a wheel barrel full of money. BRING BACK THE FACTORY WARS AS THEY WERE IN THE 1960's

Re: Drag Pak/Cobra Jet FX classes
Didn't the FX classes make lots of hot print back in the day?

Re: Drag Pak/Cobra Jet FX classes
Why not put them in both stock and superstock as they are.
