GM won two championships during that time frame in 71 and then again in 72, but they did so by the grace of God in 1971 as Chrysler arguably dominated this class in both 1971 and 1972 with Ford nipping at their heels holding low et records for some time but being less populous in the series overall.

GM only dominated for one season, and this was in 1972 the first full year after the NHRA lowered the displacement limits, a decision which arguably played to their strengths at that time, because of this Ford barely participated in the 72 season in any official capacity and the same can be said of Chrysler. In 1973 Ford returned and won the championship every every year but one until 1981 when Lee Shepherd took the title. Two championships in three years, one by the skin of their proverbial teeth, is not domination. Seven championships in eight years? That is domination.

If you read the post thoroughly, I said engine for engine.
