I agree. I grow weary of the comment used to justify this stuff. You know the one, we are bracket racers.

There is nothing wrong with a dedicated bracket car.

However, there is a difference between stock and Superstock cars that are racing in a modified bracket program and cars that have no baseline rules other than safety regulations.

I am thankful that the NHRA officials did listen and act here.

Why would they do that, they were prohibited after the Vegas double.

. Actually, I have raced stock since 1977 AND I firmly believe they have always been illegal in Stock/Superstock . The fact that there is no Pre Race tech AND the fact that many racers like to PUSH the envelope DOES NOT mean Beam Breakers were Legal in Stock/Superstock …..I reiterate that this is MY OPINION …..

I hate to age myself, but when we had a group of dedicated tech people
they would have given you 5 minutes to get that crap off your car, or option
B) take all your stuff back to the house. We don't have room for illegal
stuff here. Today, nobody has any horsepower to make a decision, they
don't want to not let the person race for fear of repercussion, so they
go to the poor division director, who was recently hired because he ran
a good no-prep program for ABC sanctioning group, was given no training
on S/SS, doesn't have an empowered Tech person, Wesley won't answer
the phone, LOL, so they have to have meetings, get opinions, get options,
talk to legal, and then it filters down to us. Its called progress. ???
