Mike, I don't want to come across as argumentative, maybe just comparing
regions. At lots of races that I have attended over the years in the Midwest,
I would consider a barometer of 29.5, temp of 75 or less, humidity of 50%
or less, and no wind as mineshaft capable. I can only dream of the conditions you describe at a National Open. I don't know the answer,
but I'm not sure there is a problem. NHRA makes it tougher, racer's get
more creative, what was "GRAY" area, gets missed for a while, NHRA
figures it out, but then realize 40% of the racers are doing it, so it becomes
O.K., and everybody does it=more cost. I think that is where we lose a
lot of racers. Want racers to run it to the finish line, Reward Them.
