I love seeing the new cars competing in NHRA Stock Eliminator. But as a former A/SA driver, I think its toally wrong the way NHRA if f***ing over the long time competitors that helped build the class over the last few decades. They could easily allow the new cars to compete without screwing the drivers of old classic muscle cars. It all about greed among the NHRA executives.

looks fun, but that is WAY too much lift, the car is going to break if you keep landing it that hard... See vids on COPO8, that car leaves like it's supposed to.

nonsense. my race car has been leaving wheels up and out for years and never broke anything except the engine and transmission....

base
idle
