This is gross incompetence and ineptitude on NHRA's part. Believe me, they were not trying to increase participation with a budget combo...Since when did they ever care about that?
Meanwhile, they let a few token 50's cars back in, and then hammer them so hard with HP, they can barely run the index.
You guy should expect more for your money (notice I didn't say OUR money).

Sorry for going o/t , Louie...You are 100% correct, and still the man!
I understand Mark. I realize the truck`s way underfactored,but let`s just look at it as a "budget" Cobra Jet,Drag Pak or COPO Camaro that car be put together for about $100,000 less and could possibly out qualify them.
