That is exactly what I am saying. If they did it right they would piss off the factories and they are not going to do that. There is no reason they could not have got it right the first time on the factory cars. There are people within the NHRA that know what they are doing. They just don't let them.

How many old combos could you pick up and run 1.7 under first time out with out alot of R and D none. Other than maybe some oddball that slipped thru the cracks.

But if the factory racers could only run the index out of the box and need tweeking to go fast people wouldnt be spending $100,000 to buy one. For $100,000 they want runaway in a heads up fast out of the box.
