You know the eye exam where they tell you to cover one eye and read a chart?
Well this is the one where NHRA covers both eyes and calls stuff legal. This type of action is exactly what killed Stock heads up racing back in the 60's. (My humble opinion) |

Let me first say I like the new cars running heads up with each other. I don't have a problem with them all adding parts etc. But my real problem with the cars, I don't hear people mentioning here, is that they are on the same qualifying sheet as everyone else? To explain my point. You have a couple classes created to feature these cars. FS/A FS/B, now it is agreed upon to have a certain index and the cars have established HP to somewhat even up the weights vs. HP. Now you run these cars heads up in qualifying (good to watch), some run over 1.2 under!! Others run 1.1 under fast but now this class of car is filing the qualifying sheets and in some cases (INDY), not allowing other cars to compete based on qualifying under. So you have one class of cars that are getting parts, engines, trans etc. superseded to one up the other cars in the heads up class. I believe let them run heads up with each other. I call it A/FX and B/FX, because that is what they are. But, make there index tough, for example take .2 or .3 off there index. Make the new AFX cars (Never offered on the public road) run in AFX not AA.BB,CC etc. I know it will never happen but this is like Pro Stock Light... Give them there platform, promote them and let them go!

The pleasant surprise is they haven't found the huge crowd of buyers that they were expecting. Sure a few new cars will hit the track every year but it now appears they will not become the majority of cars on the track.

Not to bash any one here. But did anyone posting here read the article?
It's listed for the new heads-up copo 427 super stock engine program. or in other words it was built to battle the 426ci Gen III Hemi. |

Give it a little more time and I think most of the cars will be the newer style FX cars. There is just too many advantages to them.

There was at least 10 Cobra Jets running the NMCA race in Joliet, IL last weekend.

Nope it ain't gonna happen! It's not about time. It's about personal preference and money. The entitlements from nhra are not enough. There were approximately 1,500 cars in Stock last year. No way the oems will sell 500 more of these cars for Stock or what's left of it.
