NMCA Good OR BAD ?

You have to compare apples to apples here, yes I had no problem back in the late 70's matting my mustang and dumping the clutch. Sometimes it would bounce the valve springs a few times before launch but hey that was cool. yesteryears motors did not have the power or the acceleration rates to really hurt themselves while winding them up for launch. I raced a stick car for over 25 years and at some point I felt it was necessary to utilize a rev. limiter, not so much for drivimg technique but to save the engine. I know there's alot of guys that frown on this and say it's not necc. and for some it's not but I really don't see the big deal about it. Just for grins why don't we see if all the pro-stock guys would make a run without them, it may take a while to broom up the mess but hey we've proven a p oint right?
