Re: How much longer do we have?
 
No one wanted diapers so now they want to let people get aftermarket cranks to help cut down on oil downs. I've said before, everyone should have a diaper. The car you save may not be yours since a lot of you don't seem to care about the possibility that you may be the one with the broken engine.

They pitted some pro stockers and all the alcohol cars in the grass at Houston last week.

The cars in stock should have stock seats. Seats are available you just have to look.

Cranks are ok if they are oem size and weight, with a stroke of + / - .015" and stock journal size with a tolerance of +.000'' and - .060''.

That's what I'm thinking. What the heck is the difference ? Make sure the counter-weights are correct, and your'e there.
Like mentioned... as long as we don't have to replace them every two years.

I have a 47 year-old crank in my engine. Wouldn't hurt my feelings to have a new one.

The payouts are nil and running for class is not what it used to be, They sure don't seem to want to police us anymore so why have the rules anyways?
I think we are seeing the end of what it used to be.
Why did he ask you ??????????????????

Yep, let's keep 40+ year seats on race cars that wheel stand and go speeds that their seats were not designed to sustain.

I support the use of "Stock Appearing" aftermarket racing seats that are safer than the OEM seats.

Hmmmmm . . . "seats sustaining speed" is strange to me. I didn't know any seat was built to "sustain speed".

Now that the question has been asked. There is no way they can turn down the aftermarket seat rule. If someone using a stock seat were to get hurt and seat failure was the blame. They or there family would have a blank check signed by nhra.
It would have been different before but once it was made public they would no doubt be found negligent.
