There is absolutely nothing wrong with delay boxes or throttle stops in drag racing. Timers are the single item that allowed big HP and big speed to invade .90 racing. Remove them and we go back to the exact same speeds as 20+ years ago.....and the racing was close all the way down the track usually within 1 car length ......just slower speeds........... Big deal remove delay boxes than racers would use other means to stay green and would still cut near perfect lites.....remove throttle stops and racers are supposed to do what to get on the index? Add weight...use a fixed bolt.....use a high side chip thats a little to low........all the same stuff that was done 20+ years ago. All the big engine builders throw out all their big engines and start building small engines.....How many manufacturers go out of business thanks to these changes...... If there are any changes made they should be PRO-gressive....not Re-gressive........Add a faster class....for those who want to run faster.....7.90 Yea I know they can't finish what they have now but they could drop xxxxx.... fill in the missing blank there LOL...........

I think super street is fine. But super gas I feel you could lower the index to 9.50 and super comp to 8.50 and not hurt anyone. Average super gas car can go 9.50 as well as super comp 8.50.

Good idea about running 8.50 and 9.50. I dont think that would hurt anyone who runs the Super classes these days. Maybe 10.50 would work also in S/ST and H/R. Leave the stops, and delay boxes like you said but those timers need to go away. Its not about what Legend said about it being easy or hard....Its just one more thing to cost more money and like you said it brought the MPH up and made using the large and more expensive engines eaiser to get down the track with. Just another learning curve and more $$$$$. IHRA tried a 7.90 class years ago but it turned into T/D. If you want to run that fast join the T/D guys. Just my 2 1/2 cents from being around it for many years. I know you guys dont pay attention to me anyway but felt I needed to say this. |

The index racers don't use delay boxes and timers and do just fine. I say do away with them in the 10.90 classes. Plus make it for backhalf stock style front suspension cars only (No roadsters whatsoever). No tube chassis cars allowed
