FS/XX - SS/AH In Comp ?

I agree with Bucky. Bob Book also just put a nice observation out there also. Out of the 38 SS/AH cars that were out last year only 5 were able to get under 8.40 and 3 of those were at Gainesville where the conditions helped big time. NHRA needs some racers involved with some of their decision making. There are some great technical as well as business people racing that would be happy to lend there expertise. If they really want to keep the 68 Hemi cars racing, let the ones in comp have the option to go to rack & pinion steering and get the center/drag link out of the oil pan .

Is the Warfish for sale? If so - problem solved!

I cant imagine all Comp racers are thrilled with a bigger field as well as making room for the new darlings of Sportsman racing. I would think NHRA would go out of their way to make FS cars very competitive, very quickly, in their new Eliminator. AH index probably needs to be 8.90-.95. Should be interesting.
