Would it make you happier if I ran the 1972 combo that is rated 60 hp more than it was from the factory? I promise it would be just as fast.

When I used that combo as an example, I wasn't even thinking of you.I was talking about a combo that actually competed at and won a National event this year.

Anyways, my point is that any "solution" to the problem should include old cars against old cars AS WELL AS old cars versus new cars.

You can send a letter to NHRA and get your HP reduced. That solution exists now. Or you can spend money like a drunk sailor until you get fast enough. Old cars aren't the issue as I see it.

Easier said than done.It requires manipulating the system.If you choose to race your car as fast as it will go, you ruin the average.Some people still like to race their car.
