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

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.

Speed up the old cars, lower the hp 2%, 3.25% or pick a number, give them some new parts (pure stock left long ago). Now the guy that runs .1 under the index car go .3 under. He ain't interested in goin to the top anyway. The vast (right wing conspiracy) number don't ever intend to go to the top. And this will give the Internet Racers, and the NoCAR racers something else to talk about. Another quote that comes to mind is from the famous (infamous) Chuck Rayburn 'If you aint within .3 of the fast guy, you don't vote'. Now that's ASDF JKLsemicolon if you never had formal keyboard training.

i do believe charleybob would have a different point of view if he was not racing a new CJ... and if it was up to his daddy he'd be driving the tractor on the farm !!

a new set of heads up FX classes would be an easy fix, attract more attention to the manufacturers and stock eliminator... BUT the manufacturers might not agree and thier $$$$ is what this is all about.

NHRA will not intervene unless the $$$$ money agrees.

we have no vote, no input, so in sense charleybob is right shut and race or dont race that are your options.
