here's my take on this. most of the time the award is given to a new race car. and there are a whole lot more new dragsters being built than door cars right now. how dragsters seem to win a best engineered award most often, is kind of strange to me also. they are all very similar, and I mean no offence to dragster builders , but how many different ways are there to mount a body on a rolling ladder bar. however there are a few exceptions to this . I have seen some pretty cool ideas in rear suspensions designs in the last few years. but to me with building door cars , the challenges are getting stuff to fit in places it ain't supposed to be. that in most cases I feel takes a bit more engineering. but that's just my opinion.
