So Bryan, do you think NHRA was correct in not only getting everyone out of Stock and Super Stock with a new car 08 or later (except for the 2008 and newer Jelly Beans-tube chassis cars), do you think the pencil whipping that went with it was also correct. I guess it is also right that my 70 Duster is not only out of GT where it has been since 2009 and never won class anywhere, and got a two tenths faster index to go along with that with no weight changes or other considerations. And my SS-KA got the same treatment except it got a 2.5 tenths from 11.25 to 11.00. I am the only new car in SS/KA in the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Australia and Ohio.
I spoke to them about this and I'm not sure it was intentional. I doubt if everyone noticed (I didn't) the difference in SS and GT between stick and automatic from SS/E-SS/EA ( one tenth) to SS/K-SS/KA (2.5) tenths and GT/A-GT/AA (one tenth) to GT/I-GT/IA (2.5 tenths). What happened I think is because they were adding 23 new classes to Super Stock Eliminator, they used the stick indexes like they did in Stock which resulted in a .05 index hit for all automatic new cars. I have asked NHRA to review this decision. Bryan, you got rid of Eric Bardekoff, Nick Morris, Craig Sullivan, as well as my Duster with the stroke of a pen in GT/FA. You also got rid of 3 including Mark Nowicki in your other class GT/EA. You didn't do this personally, and in your case, I would think you would be proud of NHRA. You didn't even have to go down the track. Just for information, there were 10 new classes created in GT for 16 cars that ran during the 2014 season. I think there are now about 110 classes in Super Stock. Can I say Comp, diversity, one car per class. Working well in Comp. Hopefully NHRA will reconsider these actions.
