Question for Len Imbrogno

Tom Moock · 09-21-2007, 12:42 AM

What other changes for stock in 2008, 2009? cc. number for intake and exhaust ports? If Nhra wants to combine classes why not let the racer`s vote, yes or no like with the 2 steps poll.

I have one for Len too. What about the 100lbs weight break for powerglide cars I've heard about? With the F.I. cars in the mix now the glide car stand NO chance ....& even with the weight break they'll still get beat heads-up....but every little bit helps. ( I was ask this @ the indy div. race by a tec guy)

len, we tried the f/i cars with the carburated cars to start with and it did,nt work, what makes nhra think it will work now!!!!!!!! most of those car,s are much more aerodynamic any way, hell i remember getting embaraced by them back in the beginning,enough that,s why we built a lower class car to get away from the heads-up g-f/sa run,s,, in hind-sight that looke,s like a $25,OOO. MISTAKE NOW!!!!! Again it,s nice to have you to at least listen to our side and opinoin which is exactly what this is...... thank,s dennis dunlap j/sa ssgt/ma

Tom,
Sorry I missed your question. From what I understand, the tech department is working on the issue of cylinder heads and there will be something coming for late 2008 for 2009 regarding runner CC's. I know it was discussed by the S/SS committee.

Greg,
I do not believe the powerglide weight break was approved.

HAS NHRA LOST THEIR MIND!!!!!

Let's see,

A racer builds a combo that comes with a PG and now wants a horsepower break because the racer chose a combo with a 2 speed trans???????????????????????

How about the pick-up trucks that run in stock have the aerodynamics of a brick and they want to be able to chop the top 8", lay back the windshield and put a Super Bird front end on???????????

If you want to know what the slippery slope is, here it is???????????????

NHRA, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS????????????????

What would "The Farmer" say or any body else that's been around longer then it takes for a cup of coffee and a sandwich????????????

When will all of this self serving crap stop???????????????
