Duane, Racers will always PUSH the "rules" to their limit! It is the people that MAKE the "rules" responsibility to make sure that the Racers ADHERE to the rules! When the Racers DON'T ADHERE to the "rules",they are supposed to be PUNISHED! That is no longer the case because the people that MAKE the "rules" are no longer in control because of a lack of qualified people to ENFORCE them and a fear of legal action against them.
As Racers, it is our responsibility to PUSH the "rules" to their limit while we still, at the same time ADHERE to them. The NHRA are the people that MAKE the "rules" and it is their (supposed) responsibility to ENFORCE them. When Racers DON'T ADHERE to the "rules" and aren't PUNISHED, whose fault is it? It's not the Racers! They're doing what Racers are supposed to do.
EVOLUTION is what happens when the "rules" can't or aren't being enforced.
