My hat is off to Wayne and Scott for putting this series together, especially getting sponsors in this economy and not too mention the hours of their personal time and their own money to do all this. As far as the 7.49 thing I can understand it. As you know they'll be racing and the last thing they are going to need is to police all the entrants, (checking licenses, chassis certs, fire suits, fire systems, neck restraints, chutes, wings, vehicle weights, etc). As Scott pointed out, what do you do when a person with NO advanced et license wins a round running a 7.49 or quicker? Do you disqualify the guy and reinstate the looser, keep them both in, do they both loose, or do you BEND the rules and let him keep his win (which opens up a whole other pile of BS, where do you draw the line on rule bending)? That is NOT a call I would want to make. It just keeps eveything A LOT more simple. Like I said earlier, they just want to race and not have to play judge and jury which I can understand.

Come on SPRING......

I am with you 100% on the hard work of Wayne and Scott we should also Andy from BEST Sanitation as well. I know at least at the two races last year he went above and beyond.

As far as the track conditions I am with you guys that we will have to wait and see. We also have to be smart about this deal ourselves. If there are a lot of street cars there on a Saturday lets race 1/8 mile like we did last year. In fact I wouldn't care if we raced 1/8 mile at every race. We cant come into a series assuming the track is not going to be good. I will be honest after the Division 1 race up there last year I swore I would never come back to Lebanon Valley again. But I gave it one more shot to support Wayne at that last race and I personally feel given 40degree track temps that the track was excellent. Wayne put up numbers in the 6.8s at 195 with no problem.

I want to see this work and will do whatever it takes to help. If it means tell me to get there at 6am and give a me a scraper and a torch I will be there. I am serious about this to.

Frank in regards to rules enforcement I dont think thats the responsibility of anyone racing in the series. I think that needs to be up to the Tech department of the track. They are ultimately responsible. just my opinion I am with you on not wanting to be the one.

Just curious, How does NHRA deal with the enforcement of running 7.49 with at 7.50 license. I personally feel it should be zero tolerance. One time your out.
