This is what happens when you let it become a bracket race...
If it's a qualified field, then some of this will stop.
Qualify 64 (65 if you have to have the first round bye)
I think the quotas are too low...
Look at Gainsville, full in 6 minutes? Come on man...

Excuse me, I shall now go and don my kevlar under pants and fire suit... :eek:

Throttle limiters? Back in the day we were looking for throttle enhancers! Geez Louise. You guys need horsepower.

This might be a simple solution to small I D spacers and gaskets: seal them up and the racer can’t change spacers or gaskets during the race. The racer will be able to change to the “ fast “ carb or throttle body but the marked spacers and gaskets have to remain in place.

Just some thoughts

Larry, can we seal up the rear wheel nuts, I’ve seen a tenth between bias and radial tires. Let’s be fair on everything.

I think anybody can Re-Tire any time they want. Sometimes I would love to Re-Tire with a 10.5 on the cars but its not in the rules. A few years back we could run a 12" DOT tire but NHRA changed the rule for stock.

I think the same should apply in all the ways we pick these cars up, tires, oil, ice down, weight, fuel, restrictor plates and engine, trans, differential heaters. You can’t just pick out one thing you don’t like, unless you seal the whole car up after Qualifying. We all have a game we play.

Like it or not, very true!

If it is within the rules as written it’s ok.

Daren,

I am going to un plug one injector. All good!!

Once they start looking at the injector wiring I will un pin in one of 2 connectors available at the ECU or at the connector for the main harness to injector harness.

Game ON!

Robin
