NHRA and the Master Plan

That happened in 2004 with the first Cajun Sportsnationals at Belle Rose. It was the U/SA Shootout. Pat Joffrion had all us U cars parked together near the scales. There were several donations put up for the race, it was a huge success and a blast for all. There hasn't been another one since then. Bob Shaw even had shirts made up for us. We had cars from CA, KY, TN, LA, FL, MO.

As fast as some of them are going now I believe that the field would not be so great. It would be a shootout between Bob Shaw and The Flying Factored Fords, all running in the high 12's. Lets see, if I cut a triple zero and pick up a full second, they still have me covered. I know, go work on your stuff, OK anybody got around ten thou for that extra second. Maybe I should send a letter to NHRA for refactor. About 50 HP should do it.
Better yet, I need a new car with a low HP rating, like a new Challenger with a small block.

Thank you for the thought Dan.
