I second that Jim.

Ed F. posted this in another thread. I thought it was rather pertinent to this thread also:

I never said it was a poor man's class.I never said it's been a rich man's class.It's turning into a rich man's class at the top now.And as mostly Ford is releasing cars/engines with bogus HP factors,aided and abetted by NHRA,it will become a rich man's class for those who will want to keep up with the "big dicks" for class supremacy.
The "little guy" will get hurt when enough of these cars infiltrate most of the classes and
heads up runs in eliminations occur.Getting beat in class is no big deal,getting whomped in eliminations by a bogus HP car makes it hard to justify the expense to go to national events.Do you see my reasoning now?

I would start them at 290 hp. Then it would take about the same time to work up to the real rate as the other two brands.....lol That would be fun to watch

Oh!.... Oh!.... I see new classes coming!

AA/FUA (Factory Underrated) Automatic
A/FUA
B/FUA
C/FUA
D/FUA
E/FUA and so on.
All three companies will have enough new cars soon to fill several classes. Might be interesting! Jim

Bo,

This is a good idea but I seriously doubt the NHRA would accept an underfactored GM product as long as Ford is the 'official' car.

A supercharged 572 with .800" lift rated @ 220 hp is nice to think about though.

GM finally gets knocked off of it's riding high in the saddle and preferential treatment and all of a sudden the sky is falling. The Bowtie gang, and the Fire Chicken supporters closed their ears when criticism was directed towards the NHRA over the bogus HP factors given to the LT1's and the combined GM's EFI combo's with Stock. This can of worms wasn't just recently opened with the Ford Mod Motors, or the Cobra Jet cars.

I look at it this way, GM took the bailout money after all those years of giving away millions of dollars, and they are still in the ***** house financially.

Ford chose not to take a dime of Oblama's money, and is now stronger than ever financially; and with Brian Wolfe again involved with Ford Racing, Ford is now back in Pro Stock, Nitro F/C, Super Stock/ Stock, and other sportsman classes.

For those who are making this a Ford/GM argument, Isn't this really what this is REALLY about ??? GM has taken a big ***** and it just digs in your krawl !!!I Guess you all could reach out to Oblama and have him get Eric Holder or one of his cronies involved from the Justice Department, and have them run the NHRA as well
