While that logic is unarguable, it's funny when I have raced 7 second dragsters in gamblers races in my 14 second street car without even wearing a helmet.
It's just kind of funny. The stock rules used to be extremely lax. You could run 9.90 wearing a t-shirt. Now, in order for me to run 12.0 I have to have a cage, full jacket and pants. But if I go to a bracket race I can wear a t-shirt and a helmet and I'm all good.
They relaxed the street car rules and then when total ape **** on the stock eliminator rules.
Where is the logic? Oh wait... it's NHRA. I forgot, there isn't any.
