I would have to say it's been a mixed bag. The new cars have definitely brought new folks into drag racing. The Skillman's are as nice as anyone you would ever meet and that Mustang has given Charlie Bob a new reason to race. On the flip side , they have also run some people off. It's such a shame because it could of been all positive. All NHRA had to do was put these cars in their own classes and rate them half way fairly. They could of run in Stock and Super Stock eliminator and because the old cars wouldn't of had to race them heads up or in class I think most everyone would have embraced them. Running in their own classes they could have been featured at national events and the manufacturers would of had the exposure they wanted. Sadly we have management at Nhra that is short sighted and really doesn't understand drag racing, so consequently we have an organization that has lost business and probably won't ever get it back.
