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

[Charley Downing]

The only real problem NHRA has is listening to all you ***** Clowns from day to day cry about how it’s not fair. This is what is going to happen if you all don’t quit crying. NHRA is going to make STK for 1980 and newer fuel injection cars ONLY. I’am not blowing smoke up you’re ***** this is a real good possibility and one of many solutions on NHRA’s white board. NHRA is sick of hearing about how someone’s car is not as fast as everyone else and how it’s not fair. You people are killing yourself and don’t even know it
And as far as FX classes go get out of the 1960’s this will never happen and it’s a stupid idea.
This is my question to all of you. Is there any form of motorsports that allows old cars to still be competitive over new cars?

Mr Downing If you were still only affording to race your wagon and not using your daddies money to run the under -rated Mustang,you would be on our side and you damn well know it. Now you turn your back on its original roots because you drive a" New FI Car" Must be nice *** Clown! By the way you were a nicer guy before you became an advocate for the "I have more than you class" Good luck with your driving skills hahahahah.

I race with my own money and have for the past few years. I do have sponsors like other racers to help offset the cost of racing. And if someone wanted you to race for them you would to.
As far as my dad goes I work for him part time after I work my 6:00 to 4:30 full time job. And we all work very hard for what we have. So if he wants to build new cars with his sons I don’t see a problem. But don’t tell me I ‘am some rich kid just racing off daddies money. If you think that you don’t know Bob D very well.

The more I think about it your right my dad pays me for working for him so I guess in a way I do race off daddies money.

I'am still a nice guy I just have a different view

Real names no games

If NHRA only allowed 1980 and newer cars in stock then stock elim. would cease to exist and who would NHRA get all of their money from.......No wait.....STOCK ceased to exist in 1985 !

[danny waters sr]

Answer = AA/FI + BB/FI and AA/FIA + BB/FIA and maybe a CC/FI if needed . let them have at it .with the right weight break they could all pretty much run these classes....... Just a suggestion for NHRA.....That would even be a fun class to watch.

I don't see what is so stupid about the FX class. These cars are Factor Experiments. Seems a natural extension to what they are producing.

Your last question is misleading. There is not a single person that suggests the old cars to be competitive "over" the new cars. Just a level playing field like they made with the fuel injected cars in the past.

Doesn't seem like a difficult concept to grasp, IMHO.

Wait! I thought of one. Nostalgia drags! You can't race a new car. Pre-1980 or older. There ya go.

Don't try to scare us with threats! Many have parked them already rather than pay travel cost and entry fees only to be outrun by a tenth in a headsup race.

From what I have seen ,read and heard, being outrun by a tenth would be palatable.

Yeah, it's the 5+ tenths spankings that suck so bad. LOL
