Ford built their car and was the first of the new generation drag cars. It is not Fords fault that Mopar didn't build a Drag Pack with a blower and a 3 speed auto or speced them out that way. NHRA didn't give the Fords that. Ford built the CJs that way and speced them that way. You want a 3 speed and a blower you have a few options to choose from. Maybe next year Mopar will give you a third. Your beef should be with Mopar not NHRA(or Ford).

As for the 100# that hurt! That surprised me. I feel for you guys in the V10 cars to get hit with 100# before a race ever happened. Perhaps they(NHRA) based it off of some performance numbers they have acquired?? I don't like them(NHRA) hanging 100# on anyone this close to the race. The pro-tree? I love that everything should be pro-tree but that's me.

I seriously doubt it was due to your suggested Jesse Kershaw lobbying for a rule change. That really doesn't look good on your part to come in blasting one of the sponsors of the site as well as a big supporter of Drag Racing advancement programs.
