Sounds like he is biased.

A couple of facts Nobody has touched on yet.
There were 3 Drag Pack cars that didn't qualify.
Every stocker and superstocker there went under the index in qualifying all 338 of them.

What is your point here. Not all cars of the same type and class run the same anyway. The point is, once these guys really works on their cars like the rest of us have. They will really be fast. If we all had factory race cars, I guess it would be ok.
I agree with the writer. I'm sure with all your racing, none of the quick et's came easy. As far as the make, there has always been a lot of GM cars in the category.
Of course there is always some surprises in stock and superstock. Charles Blossom always seem to find one.

Definately did not mince his words but he is definately right----As far as the blown cars they need to put some device on it to allow a certain maximum boost--sorta like the Indy cars ya go down to tech and get a wastegate from them and after the race is over ya turn it in and go get another one for the next race---that's how they control it over there----maybe NHRA could issue "certified pulleys " for the Fords and after the race is over ya turn it in or ya continue to use the same one and if ya get caught using(cheating or modifying ) something different your out til the same time next year.

Supercharged cars are easy to check just measure the pulleys and do a little math.
Even I can do that.

Also cam position, lift and duration changes boost level on all Turbo or Supercharged cars.

Art, there is way more variables that can be altered...in a forced air configuration... Boost is not the only secret to make usable power on the strip.

Those same secrets can be used for N/A cars. If you port your heads they flow more air.
I was saying if you change the duration, cam timing, etc. you can change the boost number.
