Well, they now have done it. Sorry Ford, GM & Chrysler. looks like they have a couple of Toyota's in the Pro's. When are they coming into the Sportsman ranks, like Stock Eliminator. The imports are coming, the imports are coming.

Think I'm going to build a Kia Soul for U/SA, hamster power. What it is!

Maybe a Fiat, do the girls come with it?

Yea OK. So how does that affect anyone other than those PRO teams that have them as an associate sponsor and NHRA gets some free vehicles???

Hopefully they'll turn on the seat heaters. Poof up in flames. What an embarrassing joke.

Isn't the Toyota the most American made car now.

FED 387 · 02-04-2014, 02:12 PM

so if any BMW/Hyundai/Kia or Mercedes is built in the US will they be considered an "American" car

I haven't researched the numbers but it would be interesting to compare the number of Chrysler (RAM)/ Ford vehicles are made in Canada/ Mexico vs. BMW's/VW's/Mercedes/Toyota/Honda vehicles are made in the US. My only point is the lines have blurred.

At least Toyota makes trucks, but it will be interesting to see what fleet pulls their safety safari and regular trailers all over the country.

Well it could be Fiat, Toyota, Chevy & Ford.......Sad......

So that means the Sportsman Import Classification Guides will be becoming available, SOON ?

Personally it doesn't bother me who there official vehicle comes from. I am glad they have one so our entry fees didn't increase and our payouts did not go down. I'll still get out in the garage and work on my 1974 duster the same!
