Why reduce the HP on 95% of the cars instead of raising the other 5%?[/QUOTE]
Because the 95% are the ones complaining. So fix the ones that complaing. =) Plus it's all done by excel so it's just as easy to do 95% as it is to do the 5%. Just like we are not asking to take away the three speeds from the CJ's and COPO's, we are asking to give us one!

Your on-the-scene reporter has unraveled the problem. First it's fixed, Thanks NHRA. On May 9, a proposal for the Shootout was done and sent to the manufactureres. The weight was 3575, which was too much. After discussions, it was reduced to 3475 and posted on the tech site on June 18. When the adddition of the pro tree and a couple of other things were done, the weights from May 9 were picked up instead of June 18. Mystery solved. My blood pressure has now returned. Perhaps I overacted a bit, but I am pleased to announce it was handled poste haste (thats right now for you non-belivers). Now as far as the other age old discussions on here, they are like crabgrass, just won't go away. Next year we (and anyone else) have the three speed, so that is good. I had a good discussion with Glen Gray and Bruce Bachelder of NHRA as well as numerous e-mails with Pat in California. I ruffled some feathers for which I apologize. Maybe I was too involved in trying to get 5 cars to BG and Indy, and get over the martinis I was having when my son called and said we got 100 lbs added. The problem is fixed and the communication lines are wide open. Thanks.

Good news for the Mopar camp! Maybe they'll get off the porch and play with the big dogs now???
Still disagree with the pro tree thing though. Makes no sense at all. How are they going to qualify? Run with the stockers on .5 full tree, then you have to run a .4 full tree for the class, then revert back to .5 full tree for eliminations? Total nonsense! Way overthought! ![]() Anyway, see you guys there! Brett Candies 4192 Stock/SS |

I'm in BB/SA no FS/S for me good ideal to start with , but its out of control now and the ADRL racers who have raced that tree all year have a real advantage. I dont agree with changing the rules no matter who it helps.
Good luck to all that do race the class Jeff , I dont think Jesse is that type of guy . If he was the Copo would have been factored harder. He want's all three car companies to play and he knows that Ford has the best car.
