It's 3.25%, and no, it won't make enough difference to even see, most of those cars still are not showing their hand. It wouldn't reign some of those cars in if they got hit with 3.25% 3-4 times.

The racers will not unite, the closest thing to a united front the sportsman have ever put up was Indy in 1981 when the Modified racers protested.

If all of the Stock and Super Stock racers with traditional combinations would withdraw from 2-3 events on the Monday before the race at 11:45, NHRA would at least be stuck with some upset fans who might ask questions. But NHRA would probably just lower the quotas and add 0.90 Super class cars.

We now have the Internet, and a half dozen sites, giving us the ability to organize and unite as never before. And it will never happen. We'll all be ice skating hand in hand with Satan himself in his own back yard before people stand united to preserve our sport.
