Seriously Terry why doesn't NHRA classify DP's and CJ's in a class such as FA/SA for Factory A/SA problem solved. This way present A/SA would still be able to compete with no ill effect on their combination. I sure miss the PURE stock idealogy of 1972 . I know that Jeff Teuton and many others could make a Little Red Wagon run 1.50 under if they wanted to, you can't beat dedication and Mr Teuton goes to the front of the line in that department. I love to see new blood and new cars but it shouldn't be to the detriment of others who have toiled for years on some combimation to be overtaken over night by an injust HP classification. Say what you want about generation 3 and 4 of Camaro they were all street cars(Body in white but no powerglides and 650hp+ like some power plant available in new cars not even registrable with any DOT departments) 305 to 350 cu. 145 hp to 330hp . You could have at least five different classes without harming any old combination. Come on NHRA wake up.
