It's not a typo, I don't think you understand the phrase.

"Net" is another word for sum. In this instance, a Net Positive or Net good means that the sum of all of the parts or implications of this subject matter adds up to be a good thing. Maybe you don't like that it has a Ford rear-end, but that is outweighed by adding a new manufacturer to the guide and the potentiality of including new, younger racers to STK.

So:
net good=you are for it
net bad=you are against it

What do I do if I "LOSE" the poll?

Just curious how many "younger racers" have the financial resources to be racing a a new Supra, Cobra Jet Mustang, COPO Camaro, or Drag Pak Challenger? The vast majority of late model factory race cars that I have seen, are owned by people that have gray (if any!) hair,

Whether you like it or not, do you believe adding a new manufacturer to the guide is a good thing? Do you agree with the way Gump's car was prepared?

Which model Supra ?
The Turbo 4 cyl. version or 6 cyl. version ?

We are working only on the six-cylinder at the moment (B58).

Good luck at Indy with it . The GTO and the 340 cars in D & E/SA might be in for a surprise.

Just saw some interesting news that changes a lot of things on this subject, and I don't claim to have any idea of what, if anything, NHRA will do.

Toyota is bringing out a totally new 6th gen Supra in 2027 or so, and it will no longer be essentially a Z4 BMW with a Toyota body. They will be using their own hybrid inline turbo 4 with 400hp. I'm of the belief that the word "hybrid" being in the description means it has battery assist. It will be rear wheel drive, but without any BMW driveline parts.

I'm assuming that Gump's build will stay in the books but wonder about new additions like it in the future.

[GUMP]

Right now, I'm focused on the first one!

[GTS340]

Are the NHRA folks going to get the new ride in the books for you before Indy?

Unfortunately, no. I've been stupid busy since the HPX Show. I hope to get everything finalized soon.
