I agree Adger, If they do not like it then they have no clue.

My father has been racing Topfuel for 50 years with Chris Karamesines
I spoke to dad today and he said it is a great thing. They been going to the same tracks for 50 years and the short tracks are not safe.

Like Jim Head said... we race on tracks built when we only ran 200mph.
They now run 275 at half track.

If you limit the nitro or gears or pulleys, the crew chiefs will figure a way to go right back to 325 again.

I really think this is right and i bet we see some good racing and the drivers hitting the tree better.
