Combine sticks and autos within each class.

Five year limit on engine spec. changes.

Remove non factory size cranks and rods from blueprint spec.

Twenty year old cars or older get Edelbrock heads.

No throttle by wire.
If the factories can fool NHRA on the initial HP. ratings of the engines, it would be no problem to fool NHRA on the capabilities of the computer. With throttle by wire several functions are available in real time : traction control, track position, adjusting E.T. for the perfect run, delay, and a host of other capabilites. No throttle by wire, the temptation is just too inviting!

Best ideas yet ! Especially the head, rod, and crank rules.

Re: Stock and the late models, a solution.

For us mechanical challenged people what does throttle by wire mean?

Re: Stock and the late models, a solution.

Instead of solid linkage or a morse cable from the pedal to the throttle body there is nothing but a position sensing solenoid on the pedal and the TB connected by an electrical wire. -----John
