I am in total agreement with Scott on this one. How could you expect a sub 7.50 alcohol burning dragster driver to wear a -15 suit with -20 gloves and -20 boots? I don't think -20 gloves lend themselves to adjusting your Biondo/K&R delay box very easily. And you can forget about "feeling" the button underneath your finger. I am all for safety, but why can a guy on gasoline going 7.0's still wear a -5 suit when someone on alcohol can't? I have had lots of mixed answers ranging from the PRI show to California. I like what IHRA has done and hope NHRA will follow suit. If the rules do change...looks like it is C14 next year.
