take all the numbers off of the time slips, lol

wonder what it would take to get back to these type of time slips again, way to many numbers and boy would it make it back to driving by the seat of your pants again!

Thanks to Stewart Pomeroy for usage of time slips as they came from the Motown Missle in 1970

If NHRA would let its members vote on this, I would vote to show ONLY what these slips show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm probably in the minority though!!!

Any one who is interested in nostalgia. These slips are for the Motown Missle (Don Carlton, Lexington, NC) in 1970.

I have some from 1969 at Thunder Valley, Marion, SD. I am going to dig them out and see if they are still readable.

I'd be interested to hear what is the perceived "downside" is in educating us about our cars by displaying incremental numbers on timeslips.

I know there are some folks who don't like the idea, but I don't understand why. It seems to me that knowing your incremental times would be at least as important as knowing your speed and e.t., so why not include them; they would seem to me, to be a useful diagnostic tool... especially 60-foot times.

What's the negative aspect to having this information?
What am I missing here?
