Do you honestly believe this has no effect? You are not that naive.

A big elephant in the room is the AHFS. NHRA can not arbitrarily change the rules mid-game. If NHRA did, and assigned 50 HP to the CJ/DP racers tomorrow, law suits would follow. QUOTE]

Twice a year NHRA allows people to ask the powers to be for HP adjustments. Most ask for HP reductions for their combinations. Some have gotten as much as 75 HP taken off of their cars. Perhaps people could ask for HP to be added to cars? 75 HP might be a good place to start!

Just saying.................

Im still keeping my eyes open and a few options to consider. Once the $$$$ is spent it is gone so Im playing it safe. Your right about we are not getting any younger. Thats why Im not going to try to build a combo at this stage but I also dont want to make a big mistake. I will see how all of this plays out then make a move very quickly. Its the last hurah or part of my bucket list as they say.

[QUOTE=Ty Webb;210386]Maybe you have it backwards...All cars that race with DP/CJ's in their class get 75 HP off their rating! :p

[QUOTE=X-TECH MAN;210395]LOL. I'm cool with this. They can factor me back to about j or k.

[QUOTE=Jeff Lee;210392]Shouldn't the CJ's get more weight than the DP's, I'm pretty sure they are at least 2 to 3 tenths faster. So it seems anyway.

Re: Drag Pak/Cobra Jet FX classes
 

I don't agree with your analysis. Just who are these bracket racers? Me, Fletcher, Biondo, Fetch? Don't think so. Heck, I don't think there are *that* many "real" bracket racers running in Stock and Super Stock these days! Most of the ones that do have very nice, very fast cars. I for one have advocated changes that would potentially increase heads-up runs. The ones that fight the notion are class racers with their own agenda.

Saying that bracket racers are trying to get rid of heads-up runs in S/SS racing is like saying bracket racing is too complicated to explain to spectators. It's a popular argument, but one that doesn't hold water upon closer inspection.

Just my $.02,

127 posts of pure speculative BULL$HIT.You can knock this topic around till bulls grow ***$ and won't get anything accomplished.It's like two kids arguing in the schoolyard.Only and when NHRA wants to do something about this will there be a change.All your hissy fits will do nothing.Probably the only thing that might them act is being bombed by constant emails and face to face comments at Nationals to Gracia and co. by those directly affected by these cars.
Maybe even the guys running them (CJs and DPs) can admit to them that they're only funning everybody.(Yeah,fat chance).
In closing,wha wha wha,blah blah blah,sob sob sob.

If reading all the bitch fits doesn't please you, there are plenty of other threads to read. Until then, welcome to the club. You are in the thread bitching and moaning, just bitching and moaning about something different from the rest of the people here.
