Looks like that bit of relief was short lived. NHRA has a solution: just build a new car

Sure. Why not? You get to use a 9" Ford rear and a Pustelny designed 4 link on most any new car.
I doubt we'll see many leaf spring / Caltracs combos.

I'm very familiar with the track(Miramichi dragway). It's faster than any other track.it at sea level and a little down hill.traction is all ways good.DA is low most of the time(in Sept and Oct the DA will be -1200 and you will pick up .15).The track is good for .08 or .09 in July when the open is there.

The Same guys are always going to be at the top of the sheet
because they're always willing to adapt to whatever Nhra comes out with. It's really that simple
It's just harder for you older guys to adapt with new technology and cars. So bitching about the new stuff is a easy way out.

Hey Charlie, what is your definition of "new technology"? You don't have to adapt to it, you can always write a check. Some of the old guys, like Kyle R, have to save some money for Viagra and Metamucil. Also, there is a fair amount of bitching about some older cars lately too, but I get what you're saying.

If NHRA put an honest effort into making Stock Eliminator fair I bet over half the new cars wouldn't get built.

Good luck this year btw, thought you had it last year!

Mr. MacKay, I must also add up one more factor to that great racetrack. The oxygen quality, which is a lot higher there, 21 %, maybe 22+...
