Lack of integrity

[Rich Biebel]

All racers that run in classes with HP factors should now clearly see you are racing in a category that is totally arbitrary. Your ability to be competetive is wiped out at the stroke of a pen and at the whim of the people who sit at the top. They wanted to showcase new cars and they are doing it.....at your expense......

An active tech dept. could pretty easily look at engine specs on these engines and tell the HP ratings supplied by the manufacturers are way off.

Using the engine specs from the last 30-40 years is easy enough to do. Compression ratio, valve sizes, cylinder heads, cam specs and type as well as induction system.......

All one has to do is look at how much better the EFI cars were when they came out 10+ years ago. Now the latest wave of "stockers" have even bigger advantages and it's real easy to see......

I raced a traditional 350 Chevy stocker at the time the LT-1's came upon the scene and know how it feels to watch a car that can outrun even the best in your class by a a lot. Todays show at Indy is even more ludicrous.....
