Well guess what, I started racing 40 years ago, and there have been combinations that have outrun my combo by a bunch ever since then. It is a part of this game, like it or not it will allways be there. Either get used to it, build one of the new cars, or go do something else because it will always be there. The system cannot react as fast as someone can come with a new killer combo. Its is not fair that the same rule that allowed your car to run stock, also allowed the CJ's and Drag Pak cars.lol If you find a copy of the 1996 rule book you will find that the paragraph about the 50 car rule is not listed.

They weren't over 100 hp soft going in either.

As I said in a previous post, 12 years, 75hp!

The new cars are 100hp short to begin with. Does this mean it will take the NHRA 25 years to get them in line????

This is a change from your last post that I quoted. How is this supporting your argument?

You were correct then and you are correct now. Plus you have to note that the vast majority of the time for the horsepower adjustments were done in the FI classes (which is still active in IHRA).

25 years sounds about right, but it is ongoing as long as they keep making up new crate motors at Ford, Chrysler, and/or GM. Come on, 12.7 to 1 compression ratio for the 5.7 Drag Pak! What computer controls are in existence that can run that car on the street with pump gas?

What am I thinking. I forgot about diesel. :cool:

So there's no room for a newbie unless he has a bottomless wallet or special connections forn F/X, errrrr I mean factory built racecar?

It must be a real slap in the face to CJ and DP owners. That there state of art cars with all the currant technology cant make as much HP as a old 427 chev from the 60s. Imagine the embarrassment of buying a drag race specific factory car from ford or Chrysler and its advertise HP is less than the window sticker on the show room model. I wonder what the salesperson says to close that deal?

He says "its advertise HP is less than the window sticker on the show room model."
