Re: Manufactures Points for 2011 GM Cars
This crap is getting beyond ridiculous! Everyone knows there IS NO MORE PONTIAC and yet NHRA is letting someone claim they are driving a 2011 Pontiac? Oner more enhancement courtesy of the BHRA (Bogus Hot Rod Assn.). It's all about the money! Jim

Re: Manufactures Points for 2011 GM Cars
Please explain how this hurts Stock or Super Stock?
Would it be better for the teams to have to go out and buy all new bodies with already limited sponsorship? I am looking at a 2011 GM Performance Parts catalog. It has Cobalt, Pontiac, and even Oldsmobile parts listed. Maybe they should remove that stuff too? |

Re: Manufactures Points for 2011 GM Cars
For a Auto Manufacture to win the Manufacters Cup it has to be current production model year vehicle. No Cobalts in 2011 no Pontiacs since 2010 0r 2009.
That is how NHRA wrote the rules! Quote:

It is not as bad as what they did to stock by letting all the new create motor cars in.

Re: Manufactures Points for 2011 GM Cars
If a manufacture want's to play the game it forces them to really help the racers just go back and look how Olds played and how many Stock & Super Stock racers they help whic forced Pontiac to help, Chevy really nevwr figure that out!
