Yup, solved it before it ever was one..

If we are going to factor them that close, then the 396's and 428's all got to get hit to slow them down for the rest of C Stock. Maybe hit the 273 in U/SA or hit about 19.8 combo's of 350 Chevys to make them run the same as the rest, and the 396/325, that got to get hit, for one thing it is way too fast for SS, Sounds like dumbing-down-America so everyone is the same. We have run a Viper for a friend on 9 inch tires @ 9.20 @ 148. Smooth as glass. The new V10 car I got @ 144 is like driving to the grocery. Any of yall ever been that fast? The title of this thread says it all. You want to get rid of most of the new cars, make new classes and let them beat each other up. No evil, no bull, no nothing else, all the cars are certified to 8.50 and you got the net, collar, etc. Where was all this factoring and evening-up before the new cars. Must have been buried in the back of the brain, or maybe the new cars are in a class where you were the dominant car. The new cars are here just like the new cars in the 60's, then the 90's. I guess if the GM cars were ahead of the goats and ovals, it would be ok with most people.

Jeff you forget one fact.FACT the old combos you mentioned didn't come into the game with such an outragously underfactored HP rating.The guys who ran those combos worked on them and got them to the point they're at now.I would think that you've been down that road for the many years you've been racig S/SS.How about it?

And that right there says it all: Chevy guys crying and whining. Safe? It's freakin' racin' for grandma's sake...How safe is it supposed to be? If you are scared stay home and watch on TV.

Yeah, good luck with that position. The brilliance behind it is astounding.

And why not let the Hemi Darts back in stock? The specs are there. With a stock cross ram, 9 in tires, and a 500 flat tappet cam, why not? The 65 single carb is already here.
But forget that, what does the guy with a lower stock class care about the new cars. it's a bracket race. I must be getting old, or out out memory or something. Also look at Nitro's book on the cars that have run this year so far. 403. 10% were in A/SA Lots of high stock competitors, not many down low, at least that is what is showing up. Almost all the new cars are natural A cars, at least the Mopars are. The 5.7, 6.1, 6.4 are natural A as 2009 or 2010 models are there, the 512 is AA. What does it matter if you are not in these upper classes. What are you missing? What am I missing? Class ain't paying. Maybe they got tired of the singles. Maybe not. Participation down; maybe by design. Higher classes showing up judging by Nitro's numbers. Maybe there is a message there. Maybe you got to show up to race. Maybe I should take a couple of days and go fishing before the river floods the whole area. Maybe I will go tomorrow. I will give you guys a day off.

Not so much......

BATON ROUGE, La. - Final order after 2 rounds of qualifying in Stock Eliminator at the 2011 Nitro Jam Series, IHRA Mardi Gras Nitro Jam:
Psn--Num--Class-Driver, Home Town, Machine-----------------ET---Index---(+/-)

The lower HP factory race cars still race in the "regular" FI classes. They only made classes for the high HP new combo's.

As i posted , there will be more classes added to the lower hp cars if there is enough participation... 1 car in competition will not make a new class....at least they are trying to make it fair at IHRA...Oh and all three of the cars listed above( 2- mopars and 1-gm) got hp that weekend too, instead of dropping all the indexes 3 tenths.

These cars are faster than most super stock cars in "stock" form. Make them all super stock only. Parachutes and 10.5 tires are the next step with these things once everyone gets them to leave. Do we really want that in stock?
