Re: Can We Un-ring The Bell
Are we debating the ultimate class racing contradiction? Because I read over and over how out of whack the payouts and contingencys are compared to the cost of racing stk s/stk in the NHRA world. Most of us agree we do it because we love the cars,the people,the performance challenge,and chasing the Wally.
Maybe I'm just nieve, but it simply doesn't make sense to me to risk getting caught. I'm not talking about chamber CC or too light rods etc. I'm talking traction control, delay boxes,down track stutter,etc. |

As far as I know, the factory installed program on cobra jets until at least 2016 were not programmable to open the throttle greater down the track. However, once a racer upgrades to a something like a Holley system, they are able to do time-based throttle opening rate.

Re: Can We Un-ring The Bell
What I'd like to know is how many Racers are actually "spot-dropping" and how many are using their ignition box, grid and data logger to determine an exact time and distance on the track to "drop". Something that the system is perfectly capable of doing. Again, I'll say "It's the 21ST Century. I tend to doubt that many very successful Racers are picking a pole or flag to "drop" on.

Re: Can We Un-ring The Bell
We have learned how to get the car to repeat within a hundredth of the prediction by using a self adjusting ECU tune depending on DA .. you need to use modern technology.
Good chassis design is key to consistency. Tuneup is way more reliable method than counting or dropping. It does not "stretch" the rules. Ron
