Very impressive! that Z is hauling the mail!! </div></div>I would say NOT very well! </div></div> yep... those guys are in the 9's and low 10's on skinny tires and full exhaust with extrude honed manifolds. not to mention basically a full interior.

heh... go to the forums and see. the rules seem to apply to just some people and then theyre changed every other week. weight breaks, what can be polished and what cant. the use of epoxys to recreate the sandcast look. i never knew soo much drama existed in certain classes. spend some time here to read about it all. oh...and NHRA is the devil if you ask them. http://classracer.com </div></div> I think the NHRA stocker guys have some legitimate gripes about the way they're treated, but I don't understand why they don't start doing their own thing. It seems to me like most of the non-NHRA racing that's evolved over the past 25 years has been a direct response to a silly and arbitrary NHRA ruleset. When the late-model Mustang thing really started to pick up steam in the early 90's, there were several old NHRA stock racers at the forefront of it. Gene Deputy, for example, had been a longtime Hemi Mopar pilot and quit racing after the Pro Stock HemiColt flap before coming back in a turbo'd 89 Mustang in 1991. I understand where those guys are coming from, but it is possible to say goodbye the NHRA and still have fun racing your car. Keep showing up and giving NHRA money, and they'll continue to treat you like crap.
