No one in NHRA had the knowledge to police it (maybe only 2-5 people in country) sooo they put in place the Automatic Help for Slugs ? and we all know how great that works last 10 Indy?s it?s been virgin hp trucks or -30hp 302 fffords on top and NONE of them have taken HP hits

Only solution I see is NHRA get off thier wallets and hire some motor builders to review all hp adjustments ????

Or we just sell the fastest qualifier spots to the heavyweight wallets


Jack, that assumes NHRA wanted to enforce their rules, and gave a damn about the playing field being level. they don't want the hassle. They had/have people who know/knew more than enough about the rules, the enhancements, and engine building to resolve the issue.


Wasn't that long ago, they hired the guy back to get the job done. The squawling sounded like a herd of long tailed cats in a room full of rocking chairs, then some of the criers sued NHRA and the guy they hired because the rules got enforced.
