Default Re: 2017 to 2018 Rule Amendments

Anyone remember Bonzi starts from the 60s? Rev up with the trans in neutral and punch the button on the green light. Saw a stock 442 destroy a trans at Milan when I was in High School and the "staff photographer". Broke the driver's foot and put him in the hospital.

I run an SFI bellhousing and hard trans shield on my 302 C4 12 second bracket car. They call an automatic a slush box but it's really more of a shrapnel box if all that spinning steel ever takes a hike.

On the original topic, I don't care for the spread in safety across cars in the same category. A stocker with a roll bar is often chased by a much faster car with a 25.5 cage. This is fine as long as they stay in their own lanes but this isn't a given. If a COPO or CJ gets loose in the lights, the T/SA would be the big looser..

Just a thought.
