In your vision, does the DP have front wheel drive?

I think it's funny that when I lost to a DP car in Charlotte way back in March most everyone told me I should go work on my sh!t and these new cars were great for the class... Seems like many are singing a different tune now that these cars fit more classes than AA and A.

Dave, i know we don't agree on everything, but I agree here. It seems to me that when they were just A and AA cars, when we all said "hey this isn't right", we were told that they were great for the class, and besides we wouldn't see that many of them.

well now that they have made a 3 ring circuis out of the upper half of stock eliminator, people are starting to see the writing on the wall. It seems even those who have them know that the factor is bogus. Personally, I wouldn't take any pride in beating up crippled kids, but apparently some do. As that's exactly what has taken place at Indy, all the other stockers are crippled, some of us to a greater extent than others.

Dave, that was really something, wasn't it? A bunch of them really liked it because a fast Chevrolet got beat. They aren't cheering quite as loud now after this morning. Although it was funny that some of the guys running the lower classes said that we were "getting what was coming to us" because they felt the fast cars had all the advantages. I bet some of them aren't laughing so hard now.

Hell, wait until a few of those "crate engine" CJ's get out there in the lower classes. Never mind what Ford has in store for 2011 and 2012. The volume will be the same, but I think some tears will replace the laughing.

What would be the big deal if these cars did end up in SS in there own class.
If NHRA was smart they always say SS is one of the most liked classes for the fans to watch right? Why not stick these in SSB/FX and SSA/FX and let them battle it out
Hell I would watch that, All these Big name drivers running against each other in these cars letting it all hang out I think it would be great for Sportman racing....My2cents...
They could even make it a Shootout like the Hemi's.

maybe if 32 or 64 of these show up they can scrap stock superstock all together and let these big name drivers be filler for the pros , the new cars would sure simplify tech and make it easier for the millions of fans to understand no more 3 second spots hell no more breakouts as the combos are limited to a few engines now without all the diversity of the old extinct cars , plus look at all the room they will save in the pits for the circus

No FWD. The FWD cars have only bothered the fringe villagers

I thought for a moment that were joking about something that impacted your class. And since it doesn't, you can sit from your remote location and be a spectator and occasional commentator to this blood sport that nhra has created.
