You want me to see if I can get ol' H.P. to kill this thread like he did to the musclecar thread?

Bubski asked a simple question !! As usual it turned into a Sh2t Storm of controversy over the simple facts !! Cheers !!

And it is.

My thoughts as well. What a "marshmallow combo" this is! Needs to be re factored!

Does it mater what combo is soft? NHRA will do nothing to adjust what the bogus hp ratings are and will never put the correct cars in the correct class that they truly belong in. Just grin and bear it.
That's why we pay dues.

Is it possible that ALL combos can be soft due to minimal tech? Just throwing that out there. I believe in picking a combo that makes you happy car wise, and go racing, have fun, and work to improve it personally based on your budget. Races aren’t won, or lost on CR.

even if you pick a "good" combo it can be out of your control if it is a popular engine platform and somebody else beats it up.
It can also be hard to "protect" a combo that only a handful of cars run because there may not be enough others to bring the average down, or races left to do so.
I think NHRA trying to change things to make it harder to protect a combo is because there has been some obvious cases of protecting combos so they made it harder. Will it work or will racers find a way around it? Time will tell.

You got a problem with a combo's HP and or aftermarket gifts ?? Come clean now !! state your facts , why is it a problem , give some examples of other cars in the SAME class that do not have the ENHANCEMENTS or the HP GIFTS !! All Bubski is asking is to air out your grievances about why your feeling like your taking it in the shorts and intelligently state your case !! Bubski could write a book on bogus combos for real !! However its time to come clean with what is effecting you as the RACER !! Lets here it instead of goin back and forth with innuendo !! Just state what's goin on with clear facts and let the racers know how you feel !! NHRA may look at this on occasion and pick up a few tidbits !! Merry Christmas !! Cheers !!

Still here without a name to give yourself some credibility.

So my pick for the most overrated combo are your post without a real name!!! BP
