Want to loose 3200 ugly pounds?

I don't think that we can win the battle as a safety issue. NHRA will just require all cars to meet the needed spec and allow the new cars bigger tires,special suspensions, etc. With the power that Mopar and Ford companies have we will probably lose any battle. Our choices will be run IHRA, local brackets or stay home. Well, it was fun while it lasted.
The lower class cars might not see the threat but when the new cars use parts that give them an unfair advantage just as the upper class cars are experiencing with headsup runs then everyone will realize we're being shafted also. Already the FI cars can use e-shift and we cannot. As Larry has pointed out now they can use traction control what will be next?
