All I'm saying is that if the Ford being soft bothers you so much take some facts into the fight and change it.

Mr. Dedman's plea that someone who has spent $60+K on a car that will now get killed by the Mustang heads-up is pretty short sighted too. The Mustang guys spent at least $70K to get where they are.

That's the beauty of class racing and wanting to be the king of the hill. There's always someone with a bigger stick or fatter wallet waiting to knock you off.

As a long time Max Wedge racer now in Nostalgia SS I have many friends that have put as much as $100,000.00 in their MW's and, on a Manufacturer's whim ,are now obsolete. The NHRA should protect those racers until the new cars are realistic factored.
