I agree with you on a lot of what you said, and as I said in my original post about the HP being soft I meant it. Was it a little soft or a lot soft.....it was a whole lot soft. I really feel for the guys running the same class as these cars, but the only way to make them show SOME of their hand is to make them run them out. I have heard that they are basically configured to run at less than 75% of applicable power available. I don't doubt it. I hope that the AHFS (if there is one anymore) will get it figured out ASAP. I would feel like I used do when having to run against an LS1 in F/SA. It was not a good experience

I do feel that the exposure for Stock and Sportsman Racing is a plus. Maybe when the GM and Mopar products come out they will level the playing field. Only time will tell

As you said it may be a moot point considering the situation with NHRA. I would hope that they will see the light and make adjustments where it will count. It seems that they have been awfully narrow minded in the last few years. Again only time will tell, we might be doing something different in another 12 to 18 months. As a my Pa used to tell me when I was a kid....You need to know the difference between being a pig and a hog......the difference is pigs get fat (not a real bad thing), but hogs get slaughtered (a real bad thing). NHRA has been a little too greedy if you ask me and are heading for the Slaughter House door!! I hope that they wise up before its too late.
