Basically, Danny was not too keen on the idea of putting them in the FX classes before Indy, but when the news got out how fast they were running and how much more weight they were carrying over the minimums it made them realize something has to be done. That may be why there were only minimal hp changes on the combos if they are about to be put into FX classes.

Keep your eyes pealed for upcoming changes on these cars. Good gosh, there may be hope.
As much as this needs to happen it will not. Lets face it if there are a couple of choices to be made, NHRA will ALWAYS pick the one that is the most foolish! It has been proven over the years....Even with the HP increases (Laugh), the "G" car can and will outrun any car from D on down. I am not knocking Jeff for his car choice but I am knocking the absurd "blindness" of NHRA for the complete lack of understanding of the stock class. As Woodro put it Sad real Sad........
