If you mandate it on all cars running National Events and Divisional Events you can ensure less down time." NHRA agrees with no data to back it up. I don't fault the companies for trying to sell their product. A business owner has that duty to keep his company operating. I do however have a problem with a company trying to sell a product knowing that historical data shows that some cars and classes just don't need this product.

Floyd,
I'm with you and Billy on this, as it's just as crummy in my mind as the torque converter companies (except I think for Hughes), requiring you to have either purchased or had serviced a converter within 36mths of the event that the contingency is earned at (per a ND mag. from last month)!
