A/FX or what for 2011?

[Crew Chief]

So would the only cars that go into A/FX be the CJ and DP cars? Would the criteria for A/FX include any other cars? And with all the griping about the CJ and DP cars plus the many threats to quit racing that have been made, is it possible that there maybe some new rules on the horizon that could wind up affecting everyone in Stock?

Remember the old saying..."Be careful what you ask for, it just might come true."

I believe that after reading a lot of posts over the last few months that a lot of you just dont have a clue about stock and super stock rules or racing in general. You are either life time spectators or bracket racers that just post to stir up s##t. What is it that you dont understand about putting these cars into a seperate class until the HP factors catch up to real world reality. It dosent matter what the class is called or what is plastered across the windshield. The current stock rules wont change for the old cars or the new cars. Most likely the new class' will have a lower index to run off of because of the lopsided performance advantage they now have. The stock rules are screwed up enough as it is so what could change? Just what the class designation is called running at the same wt. break as they run now in 2010 for 2011 dosent matter. If the AHFS or any new way of factoring these cars ends up factoring these new cars and more weight is needed than the car can be allowed to carry over the factory shipping weight (remember THAT rule?) to stay and run in stock elim. at 7.5 lbs per HP then they get a free ride to Super Stock at one of the 6.0 thru 7.0 class wt. breaks. NHRA wont tell you what thier plan is until they are ready so its all just BS until it happens. .

Wouldn't the F/X class designation be Super Stock only and not Stock?????????

You're playing with words.NHRA can use the designation for any class they want.All they need to do is WANT to do it.

OK Ed, not sure what ya mean there, but, the CJ's need more tire width for when they're finally able/allowed to 'turn the wick up' cause right now they can smoke 'em to the 1000'. Wouldn't that be considered or do ya reckon the F/X class would allow this if it is a stock class, I hope NOT !!!!!!!!!!!

I see what you were driving at Bernie.

I think the point should be - the Drag Paks are "normally" aspirated - the CJs are blown - big difference

Some sort of SS blown class would be good for the CJs but the Drag Paks deserve better fate

55 HP in 9 weeks on the one of the Drag Pak motors - using the "terrible" AHFS

Maybe they will correct themselves soon enough

In the meantime we play the game we always have - avoid heads up - or go into debt and buy one
