I think NHRA has greatly underestimated the lack of perception of the Stock eliminators racers such as Kyle Ratcliff as he continues to show up for this fiasco when NHRA continues to crap on old car combo's.
If no FX class for new cars then how about a nostalgia prefix for the older cars?
NHRA has to quit droping piranhas in the goldfish tank.

I can't help but read all of this bantering about the decks being stacked against us "old race car" racers and instead of the verbiage "unfairly low HP ratings", insert "allowing professional / full-time racers to race against us, the true sportsmen"
It was OK to stack that deck with your heroes. If that was the case (and a hugh majority seemed to think it as acceptable), then stacking the deck with low HP engines shouldn't be an issue.
In both instances, NHRA has allowed one side an unfair advantage and as a result, you are loosing money.

Must be something about living in Arizona and complaining about the pro/sportsman racer...isn't this Don Kennedy's territory?

And it's LOSING!!!! Not LOOSING!!!!

Yep, when in doubt, and there's nothing else, attack the spelling...

Is this actually a "bitchable" subject? Are people out there really mad at a racer if he/she attends more than 8 races a year?
