There is a lot of diversity in U without the help of miscalculated HP combinations, but if it weren't for NHRA's HP Committee, where would all the fun be.

Why look at numbers (60', 330', 660' etc.) from previous runs during the year to determine possible miscalculations when you can just turn an ear to the whiners and make your changes. And let us not forget the racers who cry that it is a performance based category while they lift to protect their precious combos.

The U class is the most diverse, period.

U/SA what ever happened to SS/U

So If it's not a cadillac or chevy truck it is bogus?? They go 2 sec under and they are heros. A Ford goes 1 sec under and it's the end of life as we know it.
Yes the 302 is soft, but isn't that what stock is about? pick a good combination and flog it. In the 9 months that we have had this combination it has had 3 converters,2 revisions of one,three transmissions,two camshafts,two revisions of the heads,two shortblocks. Twenty carbs, Two AHFS hits. We test every week. Tested last night.. Testing today.
Still not as fast as the cadillac. But it's an evil Ford ... Burn it at the stake

Don't take it personally Mike, we'll get Ron back on his meds.
but there is one big difference, the Caddy and the Truck were combos that weren't in the guide and were assigned a factor when they were put in. Kinda like the new COPOs, DPs and CJs. The 302s were an existing combo that were given back(in some cases) over 30 HP in one shot.
But I can't complain, I'm on the Welfare now too! My 307 got back 3 HP! All in one shot! I'm gonna be runnin' the BIG numbers like BJ!

Mikey, Just to be clear, I for one, never called them bogus ..They made how many millions?
I did say it was a gift, and one should never look a gift horse in the mouth..or in this case, a little cow.
