We are actually looking at running SS/DA to keep you guys from hating us so much and being able to run it all out

Re: How are the new cars remaining in Stock classes going to affect your racing this
 

Well here goes nothing - I raced last season as much as most of you and more than some of you and can't say the new cars had much to do with how my season turned out .Had my share of heads-up races and had my head handed to me by "old" traditional cars on several occasions .Maybe some of you might think about placing yourselves on the ladder where you can stay out of harms way as some of the "touring pros" have done the past few seasons .Other than winning class at the Sportsnational races or Indy what have you lost - as some have put it - its just a "bracket" race other than class or heads-up deals .

Please don't take this as I'm OK with the new car HP's as I'm with most of you - their wrong and like it or not all we have is the new revised system the NHRA has put in place and by mid-season next year a bunch of the big-hitters will have been put in their place .

How many of us have been involved in heads-up races ( new car vs old car ) during eliminations ? Can there be that many I don't know about .................

Finally - I'd be willing to bet that the economy has kept more of us home during the past few seasons than any new car . As guys we're just too vain to admit it ...............And like it or not staying home to teach the NHRA a lesson won't fix anything as its been tried in the past and the efforts were fruitless .

Question: Shouldn't the new cars only affect Class racing, Qualifying, and cars running in the higher stock classes? Would that keep some of you guys from attending races? Is it just a principle thing or do racers really fell they don't have a chance to win races?

PS: I'm not trying to offend anyone is asking this question, just curious as to peoples reasons for staying parked.

well I look at it like this, right is right, wrong is wrong. It debases the entire eliminator, and is NOT good for the sport as a whole

Great post Jack - Finally someone speaking the truth.

We do not have heads up races that often and against a new car even less.

I have many more underrated Camaros and early Mopars in my class than Drag Paks

The new cars will be correct soon and they do not impact our racing that frequently.



:-) peace

There is one in my division being built for my class. Heavily populated class with plenty of heads ups.

I am building a stick shift DP, and plan on running one of the new v10 cars. And I am going to race as much as I can.
