Delay Boxes
 

They suggested in the .90 forum, that we asked how the super stock guys felt about delay boxes, cause the .90 classes were a "waste of time". Have at it!

Re: Delay Boxes
 

i've had one for years in my superstocker lol

Re: Delay Boxes
 

I don't believe it is the delay box it is the throtle stop that hurts the appeal in .90 classes. In my opinion.

exactly

Re: Delay Boxes
 

I like the variety of cars that compete in the 9.90 class. I think it is a good mix of roadsters and door cars. Other than that, I don't really care for the throttle stops either.

Re: Delay Boxes
 

Get rid of the throttle stops and the appeal of the class by the spectators will grow.

guys my family have ran the Pro Gas/Super Gas cars since day one, the throttle stop isnt the problem, its the timers, back when the throttle stops first came out they didnt shut down until both drivers went into high gear, which in case the fans seen side by side leaves and really didnt notice the throttle stops going into effect.
Bottom line, timers have killed the super classes, if it wasnt for my parents running the class i wouldnt be watching it to much. (and i use to race both SG & SC myself)

It's really a dead issue cause NHRA or IHRA will never change the rules, so.................

Back to the delay box question, well here we go again, how much electronics are we going to let SS & Stock use to kill both those eliminators.
Go back to foot break racing in both, lol.

hey joe, are you coming down to the pri show? if so maybe you would like to help our assoc on dec 6th at gainesville the weekend before the show.

Re: Delay Boxes
 

The .90 classes would be much more fan friendly if they followed the Heritage gasser rules. Get rid of the timers and stops and run on 8.50, 9.50 & 10.50 index. with a qualified field.
Watching the endless parade of throttle stopped 8.90 dragsters to 10.90 door cars is boring.
So much so that I sold my S/G car and started construction on a "paper" Shelby stocker.
(May be my biggest finacial mistake of the year)

Re: Delay Boxes
 

Just follow the logical idea by eliminating the .90 classes and move them into Top Sportsman and Top Dragster and dial them. No one has to build a new car, everyone can still race and the fan appeal is back. The stops and timers are what the fans hate.
