I think with the dwindling number of traveling super class cars they may feel that opening up the rules and leveling the playing field with out all the driving aids will be the way to go. I just wish they would have opted for one of the faster classes as well like the 8.50 or 9.0 deal.

Freddie;

I'd say the biggest deal of this would be time, I mean time to run all the classes during a decent hour when the track conditions would be safe. I remember back in '04 or '05 at SGMP when there was a rain delay and T/S was getting their qualifying run at 10 o'clock at night. The dew had started to fall and I saw Dave Saul and Edwin Stewart both crash their cars within a short period of time. Question is, just how much more stuff can be added in the given amount of time to run one of these events?

Like some seem to think, this may be the direction NHRA wants to move to at the expense of dropping the traditional classes they already have in place. If I wanted to race the "Unleashed" style of index racing I can do that once a month at Gainesville, only 45 minutes from my house. That's not what I built my car for and not what I want to do.




Hey Dan Moore, you're #1.
