I call B/S. NHRA handicaps the Hemi
So basically, Dodge made a car that complies with the rules but is just too fast?
I was thinking "boycott" and I got to this.
A racer himself, Rossey is familiar on the “Balance of Performance” (BOP) rules used by many racing sanctioning bodies to equalize the playing field. The BOP is also a tool that keeps one manufacturer happy while, hopefully, not alienating another to the point of packing up his toys and leave. Rossey has been involved in professional racing for close to 20 years and was not shocked to get “the call” from the head of the NHRA Technical Department.
“Was I surprised? No. I’m not happy about the decision, we have worked really hard to achieve the success we have. It doesn’t seem that when the Drag Paks were struggling a year and a half ago, NHRA did not try to slow down the COPOs or Cobra Jets. This class has grown from then. While I’m not happy about the decision after achieving the success we have, our Dodge//SRT team has a history of rising to the occasion, and we will do everything we can to help our Dodge and Mopar teams continue to outperform the competition,” said Rosse
I don't know that a protest strike would do any good or be desirable.
But it's the best I got and that's just me.
