Have to say I am a die-hard Mopar man and it sucks for other to treat someone in such a way. I'm 27 and this is my 21 consecutive year going to Indy. I still love the old school cars and hope to race one there in the coming years. The new ones are cool and I still think both will co-exist.

Well it looks like the 6.1 is actually still alive as a '10 model in A/SA with a 7.51 factor, they will just need to add 180 lbs. This should still make them a competitive combination. The '09 model with a lighter shipping weight will go to AA/SA. Welcome back guys.

I think its about time for you guys with old car combos to come off your "high horse" and run some more IHRA where the new bogus HP cars are run in their own class. At least until NHRA gets the message. If not......then enjoy the screwing your getting.

If you Do truly believe it was run all out. Think again!

If you can run a second under without having to do anything to a stock car you deserve twice the HP hit.
The front wheel drive turbo cars with engines that came apart the first time only for record teardown are replaced by the new cars.

Look down the qualifying order. You have to get the #22 before you get a traditional stock combo.

Nothing wrong with having new cars or FWD stuff as long as they are factored properly... and maybe AAA/Stock added!

Dosent matter what I believe.....He and the other 6.1's with automatic are now AA/SA cars ONLY or S/S. Of course someone could always put a stick in one and kick butt.
