Hey Jack Flash, your friggin red Camaro should drive better than all your previous cars. With all the technology in your friggin red Camaro and the price tag that goes with it, it BETTER be the best. The manufacturers put you into a position to run as fast as you do with their advertised horse power ratings. By the time the AHFS sorts you all out, the newer breed of friggin red Camaro's will be out making your car another also ran.

The only benefit of being the fastest in your class is bragging rights. Class means nothing anymore. Just the fastest "rated" cars are in. Look at the qualifying sheet, it is dominated with newer cars in the upper half. Of course except for combinations that NHRA graciously re-rates and then is in the top three. Ooops, how did that happen.

So Larry, there you have it, winning class is for ego, not qualifying.
