Ford CJ's and Mopar DP's NHRA is now on the case

History, and the NHRA, repeats itself. In the '70's the NHRA legislated the Hemi out of Pro Stock but left the Fords and Chevy's alone, now it looks like the NHRA is once again zero'd in on Mopar's but not the bogus Fords.

You Ford guy's should look at NASCAR history. Bill France decided the Hemi's were too fast so he outlawed them with a stroke of a pen and the NHRA did the same thing in the '70's.

Why aren't the Fords getting hp? When the Fords first came out everyone was yelling the roof off about how they were too fast and would ruin Stock racing but now the Mopar's are getting the hp and all the bitchin while the Ford's continue to make AA/SA, A/SA their own little play ground.

Before all you Ford guy's bust on me, remember, I think both cars should be in SS just like the '68 Hemi car's.

Just to add fuel to the fire: I think if the Thunderbolt's are allowed in stock then the '65 A990 Hemi Mopar's should be allowed to run in AA/SA.

NHRA is not picking on the Mopars but is instead implementing the AHFS at the 1.25 seconds under the index just the way it was set up. The Fords that went 1.25 under got the 3.25% horsepower just like the mopars did. Go back and check your facts before you cry foul. The 1 second under is a trigger for the 6 month review but 1.25 under is an automatic 3.25% the next working day after any event.
