The rules could stay the same with no problems. There was zero need to change the rules of Stock Eliminator due to "performance increases". New production street cars could have been listed in the guide and raced with no problems. And then the factory race cars could have been put in their own Factory Experimental class, where they belong.

And yeah, if your store bought "I mortgaged my house and spent my life savings to buy fast" car was in its own class, Factory Experimental, along with the rest of them, the complaining would stop.

You'll excuse me now, it's Labor Day, I have to go labor in my garage to make money to pay for racing parts.
You have a habit of miss quoting people on here. We do not run "factory stock" it is a travesty and insult to many of my fellow racers - get your facts straight when you refer to me.

I never asked for a single rule change.

Why don't you busy yourself and your keyboard with letters to NHRA. I am sure if the issues are so egregious they will listen and surely change them. I am happy with whatever rule change you can effect.

If you could take the time to show me where I asked for this - I would really appreciate it.

I consider it an insult when you accuse me of dishonorable decisions – I am entitled to make my own decisions and they have nothing to do with how you think.

If you think for one minute I did this because I have the money or desire to beat up on 40 year old cars - why not see me at a drag race - if you ever go to one - oh and please make it out west - I cannot afford to travel back east.

And Bruce - it is not hollow to step up and spend the necessary money on upgrading to a new car .. it is exhilarating - I did not have anything to do with the rules. It has taken a long time to change my thinking to be competitive with a new car - the trouble is none of you have a clue on how hard it is to make one of these go fast.

You apparently think it does not take rear end gear changes, transmission gear changes, converter changes, tuning changes, valve spring changes, cam shaft changes and many other things, too numerous to mention. It takes way more than money but you do not want to believe that - you think you just spend your way to going fast – that causes me to doubt your racing savvy – spending is rarely the answer – hard work and effort usually nets performance increases.

I am a predictive analyst and studied very careful what I thought was the proper course of action – I never considered easy or money being the answer -now you choose to decide I am some sort of bad person with evil ulterior motives.

Perhaps I should have picked the most out of line 40 year old car and BOUGHT one of those -- that would have been OK – right? Or better yet - follow Larry Hills lead and find a combination that is only out of line …

Please vote (on here) to see if we should abandon our new car in favor of a 40 year old one like we use to run. Have NHRA change the factory stock rules and quite beating up on people who love and are driven by drag racing.

Work for change with NHRA not me – except for Jeff T. - no fast car owners want to endure the insults you guys through around on here instead of working for change with NHRA.
