Where is this polling being done so I can go vote no for a million personal reasons I just spent an hour listing here only to lose the posting due to a disconnection as I am still sitting here in my car in the pits at The Strip in Las Vegas at the last DIV 7 LODRS race of 2024 still flogging in the sun all day after I went out 1st rnd today (and will again all day tomorrow as long as they still let me after they hear my reasons), creating & installing some of that latest and greatest "hope to go faster" technology (and maybe the lord willing and the Holley EFI God's bless me maybe, so I wont be a bottom or near bottom of the field qualifyer soon), improves that cost a mint and takes a lot of labor because
nobody makes an off the shelf kit for my ancient 1984 rudimentary EFI combo! And maybe, just maybe for once I will not qualify at or near the bottom of the field and catch up to some of the others.


Hit the ones that have earned it if they wish to lower their indexes, but don't lower everyone's and especially those that have not earned the performance hit.

I am already, unearned by me at least,
and nobody has yet explained why even when asked personally or in writing
more than once why my particular
combo (only I have ever raced the 1984
Dodge Daytona 2.2L 135 C.I. Single
point TBI edition in NHRA Stock Elim. Competition), yet am penalized and
factored 6 HP (done in June 2003 for unknown reasons), or over 6 percent at
99/105 @25 lbs. Per HP for a total of a 150 lb. Penalty in extra wt. carried.

Most others in our minority I do know
handful of slow FWD Stockers across the country already weigh from 100-500 lbs. less than my required min. wt. of
2,795 lbs. that I am trying to haul down the 1,320 as fast as I can go with about
a 1 cu. ft. block of cast iron I already
invested some decent money in for its size.

And for no real performance shown
reasons or due to a poll some wish to
make life harder for everyone. Under 1.30 passes should earn getting hit. But, if you have not shown those kind of E.T.'s yet, please leave the rest of us
alone (and out of the equation until we do earn the hit), so eventually maybe we
too can join you at Indy soon! (Or maybe even up in the middle of the field someday soon possibly).

Yes, even at 67 yrs. of age that is my
goal too. (Both of them).

But price us out of the market by across the board index lowering for
zero actual performance reasons and gone like the wind some of us will be.

Please poll everyone, and do not do it on Fakebook please (as not everyone uses it, mine personally is for business reasons), as it should be an official NHRA communication (our e-mail addresses are on every current and most recent Tech Card we filed for this currently running LODRS event as are our phone numbers for our mobile phones currently in our hands, or maybe cruise the pits a little and ask us our opinions face-to-face, or
even possibly call a meeting since we
are here at the same facility.

Tell me I am currently flogging for no reason on my combo today/tomorrow,
actually for weeks/months on end (to
get just prepared to add a Holley
Terminator X to my ancient rudimentary factory EFI combo) just to take 2 steps
forward and 20 steps back at the same time if you hit me w/ a 2/10th's index lowering, and I will give you the reasons
(and they are many), why not personally please.

Thanks!
