Chad,
Not accusing anything, you just back-up my observation that we were 'officially cheated' by NHRA for underrating the LT1 and LS1. But that was Ok since Pontiac was the 'official' sponsor and they threw those cars in with us. Now that 'maybe' Mopar and Chebbie has backed out of the American Muscle class because of the financial situation, Ford has not. And this is what Ford has advertised to the public for these cars. So apparently NHRA decided to throw them in with the rest of the classes. They probably did that so they wouldn't have to add a new class for one car and it would be better racing if they ran other cars instead of just each other. You disapprove because it affects you ... sorry about your luck ..

Okay, let's close it down and wait a week and a half and see what happens at the track.

Evan,
You are quick to complain about NHRA allowing a new front end on the LT-1 Firebirds and Camaro. I think we have other issues that are more problematic than this. Explain to me how this is a performance advantage. As for the new Mustangs I think they look great, and I have nothing against them; they are in the books so they get to play despite what anybody says about them.
