Is it possible for NHRA
 
to publish a list of proposed changes to the Blueprint Specs online and in the Dragster like they do the HP specs and the Classification Guide? Wouldn't it be a good thing to see what's been submitted for change so as to be discussed before changes are made. Shouldn't we at least be notified in some way of changes that can affect our combo or our competitors combo? Should all changes be made twice a year just like the HP changes? Does anyone have any ideas? We are supposed to be living in the information age, what would it take?

What would it take? How about a new new tech dept. for a start and letting some of the good guys they already have in the tech dept. have some say so in any changes. Just had to say it......LOL

Jack the pigeons are late today.
Are you trying to say that they CAN'T post Blueprint Specs updates on their website and in the Dragster or they WON'T?

All well and good. But do you think that they could post updates or changes that they make to the Blueprint Specs?

Good suggestion. How about a column in Dragster Weekly and computer which includes decisions as made. Make the change only legal at the track if it has been posted for ALL to see and use.
Hammer, true but have we ever heard the specs on how many Racers get Dragster versus how many MEMBERS get Dragster? The PR generated by the Force publicity is a big part of the NHRA advertising campaign to bring in spectators and money. Racers are the show which PAYS for the entries.

Now that's what I would like to see.

If every complaint, request, denial, appeal, etc was written in the ND it would be as thick as the phone book(the old one) all the time. That would not make economical since.

Posting meeting minutes? Showing what has been/being discussed and schedule resolve of the matter. This could be very problematic as the "lobbyists" would hit those committee people up and also showing what the person voted "I/Nay/present" could influence votes one way or another as they could be pressured or deal with backlash.

There is already way to much drama surrounding what is approved let alone the even bigger soap opera that would ensue if it was posted what people were requesting for their combos or what they want to see other combos get hit with.

In the end I think people worry way to much about other people. Life is better when you just worry about your own deal and concentrating on their own set of problems. Take it stride.
