From the text of the dragracingonline.com report.
"It is believed that this is the first time the NHRA has approved an aftermarket powertrain for competition."

I wonder if the 1967 Shelby vehicles were considered when that statement was written. I wonder if Roush will be assigned his own section of the Classification Guide the way Shelby was.

I thought power adders were illegal for these classes! How are they going to limit boost? Does this mean the Supercharge Corvettes will be legal now, they are suparcharged too? Please, someone explain. This seems a little off.

That's nuts.

On cars with crank driven superchargers, NHRA does not allow you to change the pulleys. Of course, if the supercharger is a centrifugal supercharger, I'd like to see how NHRA will check them for ratio.

On the Shelby cars, Shelby is considered to be a manufacturer, at least last I looked. The Shelby cars, at least the originals from the sixties, are listed as Shelbys, not Fords.

Will these be "Roush cars" not ford then?

I am not against getting new "blood" into this as long it's fair to those that beat on combinations for decades to still remain at the top,but it often turn out bad,with "NHRA policy".. fishing for corpotate money the new cars uasully get a good factor and gets to enjoy days in the sun for a long time! The pontiacs(and chevys)is starting to get in line now...a decade later! .. with all the tactical games taking forms now it could take alot longer this time..

with that said...I cannot understand what the ford people has on NHRA..gotta be a good one..5-7 factors on the same engine..aluminum heads and intake on cars that never had them or any shortage of any of them..different carbs,,Chevy rods (and journals),oilpans that almost hit the ground..police this and that..talk about run whatya brung..

This is just the beginning. There are fifty Cobra Jet Mustangs with blowers coming next Spring. I think factoring will have a whole new meaning when this is said and done. This will be the battle of the blowers and good luck figuring out who is legal! Who said it's only cheating when you get caught. Caught for what?
