I have nothing against the new cars as long as they are factored correctly. Nhra has thrown all of the old combinations under the bus and whatever they get, they most certainly deserve. The new cars cover from AA-M/stock, if my calculations are correct. When these guys start lining up against cars that have them covered by 4 tenths to a second, how long do you think they will spend the money to race? Maybe nhra wants this....I certainly don't know. You guys go out and go fast with a car that shouldn't be in the classification you are running, and you think you have done something. While I could join you in the new car farce, I have principles. I would never do this to the friends and competitors that I have made over the years. I didn't expect the manufacturers to have principles, because they only want to sell a car. However, I did expect the sanctioning body to have enough principle to provide a reasonably close factor for heads up races. Again, I do not know what they want, but I certainly hope they get what they deserve. Maybe someday we'll get the chance to discuss 'assclowns' and principles.

U are right Charley the same old no race posers on here making negative comments! Maybe they should get off the keyboard,spend some money on their old outdated junk and try to actually go racing! There is alot of racing going on in Florida rite now and one of the biggest blowhards on here (Chad Rhodes) hasnt been to one yet! Hmmmmmm!? Still must be testing!? What a dreamer!

Arnold you have been around along time, how are these new cars any different then past under factored combos.
1968 hemi cars kicking Everyone's ***** in the late 60's and early 70's. The late 70's and 80's under factored olds combs (with parts they never made). The mid 90's LT1 rated at 275hp to start now well over 340hp The 2002 LS1 rated at 325 to start now almost 370hp All these combos were bogus HP to start. This is not something new. You guys act like it’s the end of the world. I ask you all this one question. What form of motorsports is old technology allowed to stay competitive? And the part about old combos being thrown under the bus give me a break. Three of the top five qualifiers at this weeks Fla PTS race were combos from 1969 and older. Chad just so you know the SCJ can never be taken out of SS/AA they are hear to stay. Good luck with your IHRA racing. If it works for you that great. But be prepard for anything.

Stocker my ***...NHRA has bent over backwards for Ford and Mopar to the point that stock is not even stock anymore. I think I am going to stick with the IHRA racing. Yea, like a freakin stock Mustang is going to run freakin 8's.

Also, when you have racing as tight as in Pro Stock, why change it? And, I make my living tuning EFI.

Only thing you see me whining and complaining about is the same thing you were whining about, new cars in the wring class due to bogus hp ratings.
