Re: Can We Un-ring The Bell
Yeah, I guess that the average S/SS Racer doesn't want or feel the need to "Un-ring The Bell".
Ya know, I made this statement to a fellow ClassRacer Member the other day and I DO believe this to be true, "The average NHRA S/SS Racer is like the average U.S. citizen, they believe that the Government (NHRA) has the Racers best interests in mind".

There are those that feel a 1.3 or 1.4 or even 1.6 or more under car is just the way it should be in a performance based sport, and there are people that have spent just as much with their oem parts because they can't get aftermarket parts approved who feel that they will never get to that point. Those may feel the .95 mineshaft rule is a good deal, others don't. I feel the same way Perrone does that we should have to qualify to get into National events, others don't. Some dont like the AFHS system at all,, some do.. Lonnie Grimm said that all options were on the table to look at the AFHS system, and the first change he made, half are mad at it. What I can say is you will not make everyone happy no matter what they do. Richard Petty told me one time at an IROC race "whats the difference between a puppy and a racer? Puppies stop crying when they get older" that applies today too for some. Was there really ever a time when no one complained about how NHRA ran class racing? Or was it just different things?

Re: Can We Un-ring The Bell
After hearing Lonnie on Bobby's podcast, I'm thinking he had something to do with it.

Re: Can We Un-ring The Bell
It appears to me that Lonnie has an open mind. The active racers on this form should make a their voices known. Make a difference in your destiny.

Re: Can We Un-ring The Bell
Maybe someone can clarify who makes these decisions.

Re: Can We Un-ring The Bell
Omg!!! Un-Ring the bell !! The bell has shattered years ago by the constant ringing of personal agendas , enhancements , whining to name a few !! Bubski's having a hard time trying to make sense of all these off the rail posts as of late . So lets get this straight !! S-SS needs AHFS but in only a way so as not to affect me right ?? S-SS needs some kind of throttle stop to keep from goin too fast in a performance based class and a new set of rules to police the part throttle crowd ?? S-SS also needs to not allow those racers who are not worthy to compete in the eliminator ??

Re: Can We Un-ring The Bell
