I saw that and followed the note at the end to “See General Regulation 7:8”, and that’s what I posted. Clear as Mud, Huh?

I understand that there is litigation proceeding right now.

Great to see you at Indy.

RJ

The pleasure was all mine …. I was there when a much younger RJ Sledge won the US Nationals. :):). Good Times …

This rule will never be reversed, because it's a SAFETY ISSUE ! End of story.

I'm not trying to start an argument but if it was a safety issue why are other classes allowed to use them? Point in case is some of the Pro sportsman class guys were using them at the World Finals in Vegas I've been told. I've not verified it yet as I have not gone back and looked at the video on NHRA tv.

Good to see your sense of humor, especially since your great product line took a big hit with the ruling.

Appreciate that. They were very popular, I went and looked and I sent out well over 200 sets in 3 years to racers from multiple countries so it was always a fun conversation. Since the rule change that business is all but dead but they're still available if common sense prevails...

If it were actually a safety issue, they'd be banned in all door cars at all NHRA sanctioned tracks at all times.


There are infinitely more sportsman tree bracket door slammers than there are Stock and Super Stock cars. And they race at dozens upon dozens of tracks at least 35-45 weekends per year, the pits and staging lanes are ten times more chaotic than those at a national event or LODRS race. The number of cars, passes, and events for Stock and Super Stock cars combined does not even show up on the radar compared to other sportsman tree door slammer cars.


It ain't even remotely about safety.

this is like new flexplate rule,stock and superstock does not include slower pro catagories.
