59 stock cars paid $300 and do not get to race at the big go (didnt make the cut) smart move on nhra. they just pocketed an extra $18k

That's if each one came by themselves???

Looks like 58 new cars (08-14) made the field, with 46 or so Carb'd cars. The rest were 04 and down FI cars.

no victims, only willing participants!

Factory Stock cars running 4 or 5 tenths slower than cars running their same combo get in, but not John Shaul at 0.88 under. That's a crime.

So right you are--its a GD shame that good cars cant race because of underrated factory race cars--nhra make a separate class for factory hot rods!

I don`t think being underrated has anything to do with it,it`s the FS cars with no HP penalty. I`d like to see what the qualifying sheet would look like if the FS cars had the same rules as the rest of the field for this event.

They simply would have slowed them down to being just under one second under to avoid the AHFS hit,just like some old cars have been known to do.

What would have changed? They still would have qualified.
