The article said both V8's and 6's would run at 2800 lbs.
I'm not sure how I feel about the article. I mean, being a turbo fan, I'd love to see them gain composure, and its about damned time that the national organizations step into the 21st century. With that said, I can see that getting the playing field level will be a long tough road and will lead to alot of bruised ego's.
One thing I found interesting is the IHRA Pro-Stock record is 6.36 according to the article, but the IHRA president was quoted as saying "the imports won't come out and run in the .40's. If they do, they won't do it a second time". So if you're going to skew the rules so the imports can never win, why bother doing it at all?
