Had nothing to do with NMCA The Ford change was issued July 29th after the July 18-19 Indy National event, the FSS final between Bill Skillman, and Chris Holbrook was rained out @ that event , and was going to be run @ US Nationals

Probably not a good look for NHRA when you hit the Ford so hard that those who's name is on one of the tracks lanes... doesn't show up to finish the finals from a prior National event; nor show up at the prestigious US Nationals which is located close to their home town.

I can understand factoring them some based on their performance at the prior event; but the NHRA official working the numbers was a bit excessive to my way of thinking.

For a few years now there have been people who have wanted to replace Pro Stock with them. Looks like NHRA is doing the same thing to the FORD's now that they did to them in the early years of Pro Stock.
