Factory Showdown Cars and Indy 2014

A few points to add to Larry's post.

1.) Graham Light wrote a letter in 2009 that stated the AHFS would be applied to all applicable runs by the new Mustangs and Challengers. The new Camaros were not out at the time but it seems plausible that he would have included them if they were on the track. I have the original letter on nhra stationary.

2.) Linda Louie, nhra attorney wrote to another attorney and made these comments:
a.) "nhra sees no reason why the Cobra Jet cannot race in Stock, under the same rules
as all other Stock vehicles"
b.) "nhra closely monitors the performance of new vehicles, and adds weight to the
vehicle or adjusts the horsepower factor of the vehicle if such measures are
appropriate"
I have a copy of this letter from the recipient.

3.) While it is nice to finally see nhra out of the closet, it does not change the fact that their continued indulgences to the oem's amounts to Rigging of Sporting Events. They are intentionally creating an unfair advantage for certain competitors while ignoring their responsibilities as a sanctioning body. Why do they do it? Why does nhra intentionally cheat certain competitors while granting a free pass to entitlement racers?
