3.25% for the DP & CJ is just a slap in the face

Before all yall lose your rudder completely, the 6.1 has been hit twice in the past year and is in line for another at the end of the year, the 5.7 has been hit 21 hp in the last 60 to 90 days, and will get some more before the end of the year, and the 360 has been to two national events this year in stock eliminator and was hit once for 9 hp. With that many cars out there, the system will work in short order. And the cars don't cost 100k. Mine cost 60k less the value of a 6.1 dp motor which wholesales for 14k that I have in an engine stand. I guess it was ok for the 396's and 428's to kick everyone up till now. Or the mid 80's efi motors, or the other combos that go fast. And complain about them driving cars out, it looks like it was happening anyway. Bring back the EFI classes? Might be an option, stick/auto? SS/AH shows you can have two factors in one class. Make some heads up classes? Next year I'm gonna bring my wife's PT Cruiser Covertable Turbo. I gotta say it was more fun running 4 tenths faster in class than it was running 4 tenths slower last year. But I don't remember complaining about losing by 4 tenths. I did something about it. I got another car. On another note, I have been asking NHRA for new parts for the old cars for 15 years. I am still asking, especially heads, as the 40 year old parts that I ran until now were scarce, rusty, and beat up. And let's face it, an out the box Edlebrock head is better than the acid or other means ported heads in stock and cost about half as much.
