BTW

I am selling mine too - trouble is who would want it?

It will be worth more as a possible "resto"[/QUOTE]

Sad but true......most any older nice muscle car in restored driveable condition is now worth more than the old stockers no matter how fast they are thanks to the new sh......I mean the new cars. If its a "REAL" car with papers its worth even more. I predicted this on the "For Sale" section of this forum right after Indy but the powers in charge decided to remove the post to be politically correct.....lol. Pennies on the dollar if your lucky although they will make nice bracket cars.

Re: Drag Pak/Cobra Jet FX classes
 

Getting rid of heads up would be the stuppidest move ever made by the NHRA and they have made some really stupid moves.

They do need to fix the issue with these FX cars. Best thing put them in there owen class.

The odds of me winning a heads up race are close to nill. But that is what I signed up for when we converted the car to stock.

If you don't like heads up build your self a top sportsman car you get to go fast and dial in. Plus they now run them at NHRA races so you still get to run for a wally.

AND they are treated like the "Queen of the Dance" !

Re: Drag Pak/Cobra Jet FX classes
 

That's all fine.

But what about guys like me, who bought a car that's been flogged on for 25 years trying to get our feet wet.... there is no competitive place for us to run now.

I love the cars, I love the attention they are getting.... but they are getting it for the wrong reasons, they are fast because of the paperwork, not because of fabrication and ingenuity.

Re: Drag Pak/Cobra Jet FX classes
 

Sean, how are you affected by these cars when you do not run in the higher classes?
BTW...as regards to fabrication and ingenuity, these cars are high tech stuff.

Re: Drag Pak/Cobra Jet FX classes
 

especially when you consider the fabrication of the HP factors

lol! Good one Chad! x2

Re: Drag Pak/Cobra Jet FX classes
 

Do you race in Stock? Do you put a dial in on your window with shoe polish? If you do you're already a bracket racer and what is the point of a heads up run against a car that has you covered by a second....pride?

What I proposed was for discussion only, not necessarily what I believe but many people here spend hours bitching about how unfair these cars are but don't propose any realistic solutions.

Personally I believe they should have gone straight into SS the day they were released, I also like the FX idea but how likely is it that the NHRA will make those sweeping changes!

The crate 'Stangs and the Drag Pack can run in E and I believe F so it is of concern to me.
