They can, have been and will be beaten by guys who have not interviewed your 3 top engine builders. But, you say it's a no win situation for you. So, NHRA creates an F/X class, and you are still stuck with those pesky scofflaws in the upper classes. I'm not saying the new cars are right, but I certainly don't think this would be the end of your fault finding missions.

Excellent analysis! And while Larry should not take it personal, I think this summarizes the attitude of a LOT of racers, or at least the racers who post online.
And Andy's Dad has it right also. If you think it's the way to go, go that direction with a positive attitude!
