The altitude deal is a mess to be sure. I had heard from someone in the know that NHRA does not want to change the correction factor situation with S/SS because......you ready for this.....it would somehow upset the cart with Comp!! I don't completely understand why, but they really need to do something positive.
The new cars(sorry Jeff) will continue to be top dogs in any Class they fall in. I believe that any NEW Car can set any Record they want to at almost anytime. Most of them just don't want to. I do not see NHRA putting the new cars in a different Class any time soon. Too much money involved and like it of not NHRA is in business to make money. I'll be dead and gone long before the new car hp ratings get in line. Its a shame.
I understand about protecting ones hp rating, I run a combination that nobody else runs so I also have to be careful. It would really be nice if NHRA could settle on something legimate as far as a "trigger". It is getting to the point that we must ask ourselves "why" are we spending all this time and money to go fast, set a Record, and then get hit with HP. Just doesn't make much sense.
I have enjoyed racing NHRA Stock for many years, and I would like to continue as long as I phyiscally can, but something needs to be done. It sure takes away a lot of enjoyment, especially when you have to run one of the New cars heads up and get out run by almost a second.
Hope everyone has a great Christmas/New Year
Later RJ
