Ford CJ's and Mopar DP's NHRA is now on the case

[Smitty]

Are the factors on the DP and CJ cars off? Yes, they are off. My question to all the stock eliminator racers is this; do you only go to the races to win class or do you go to win the event? I'm sure Nitro Joe has enough stats on how many DP and CJ cars have prevented the original Detroit Muscle from winning races this year. Everyone is complaining about the CJ's and DP's, what about the number one qualifier in stock from Indy? Really, how many of you who compete in AA/S(A) thru D/S(A) have been denied a race win because of the new cars? The last time I checked class wins was not what determined who the national champion was.
So I guess you guess don't like Jimmy Defrank becuase I believe he owns new Mustang and a 69 Camaro.

There were a couple of instances of the new cars sending well tuned top notch cars home early at Indy this year. Doug Duell sent John Shaul home comes to mind. Why limit it to D/S(A). The Drag Paks go down to H I believe and the new combos coming out can start at the bottom to cause havoc all the way up.

Speaking of National Champions. I wonder how former World Champion Lee Zane feels right now about not qualifying at Indy due to the new cars pushing him down the sheet. I guess it got his attention enough to join them with DeFrank's car.

How about like NASCAR does;

Impound a car at a race, then put it on a dyno instead of all this ***** footing around.

No argument with the results.

[Chris1529]

just bring in a rear wheel dyno to the track.

[BlueOval Ralph]

just bring in a rear wheel dyno to the track.

Grand Am does this also checking the DP, GT and show room stockers also.

Great idea. However, it is so easy to fool a dyno...not even funny! Even if you impound the car. All you need is to know there is a possibility of a dyno at the end of a run, and think outside the box.

That would be a great idea if NHRA paid the the same money as NASCAR.I guess a racer could go to the local motel while his car is being impounded and on the dyno and wait by the phone for the results.LOL

After reading that article I couldn't help but notice all the "B's" in the committee....plus one retired "B"....lol


"The Stock and Super Stock committee is made up of Bob Lang, Bob Blackwell, Bruce Bachelder, Dave Mohn and Cvengros. Bill Holt was on the Stock and Super Stock committee, but he is no longer on the committee because he just recently retired. "

And the system goes right along with 12 more for the 5.7. Should be 360 next week.
