NHRA then went to these bogus slow indexes so the slow guys would come back. So now many of us use restrictor plates, or throttle stops, or throw a couple hundred lbs in the car, or just shut off at 1000' to slow down. Go too fast, get hateful text messages. Gets tiresome.
OMG ... LMAO... ED !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love your humor !!!
