Many sound like they have never heard of the 400 chevy deal with the wrong ccs in heads, the wrong HP rating for years. No one heard of Bob Dennis cars before, How about the oval port BBC motors which hit GT/AA for some time before being adjusted. Some never noticed the new SBC SS motors with 400 heads and Q jets on a 350. How about the turbo fords used in stock?The new camaro, Pontiac stuff for YEARS with injection.The 305 Injected motor versus the carbs.
Grossi GT/AA record.
I hate it but suggest quietly race like the past till it corrects and USE the FORD input and interest to get to the BIG STAGE at NHRA events and hope Camaro works too.
If you chose NHRA you automatically chose this kind of issues. Not that it is right but that is their method of handling Sportsman racing.
Work WITH FORD and others to get a foot in the door and hope Ford can help change the methods.

Dick I didn't want to use Grossi as an example but you are right; they searched and found a soft combo and they are absolutely hammering the competition. Has there been an uproar about the combo, yes but not nearly what has been about the Ford. Everyone doesn't have $70k for a race car so I think the stock eliminator world is safe.
