Mark, I'll agree that we have one chance in a million to get this done. That's not my problem with this whole drag racing deal. I just have to wonder why, with the direction NHRA, and IHRA are going, they don't try to bring just a little excitement to local tracks, and try something like this. Everyone's right. Drag racing ain't what it used to be. Drag racing used to be a locally exciting sport. NO ONE CARES ANYMORE TO GO WATCH IT!. THERE IS A SIMPLE REASON! NO ONE UNDERSTANDS IT! I guess, growing up, racing at Bethany, and watching Eddyville, I just thought that was what it was all about. Done my first bracket race at Lee County, Keokuk Iowa, in 78, and never really cared for it. It's not what we grew up with, and don't understand why, with today's tech, and computer abilities, why a limited head deal would be hard to police at all. In our 2 year spec deal we ran, the SLOWEST cars were within .2 of the fastest cars. And the top ten were within .06 from 10 to number 1. How hard can it be? You could catch someone so easily modifying heads past what is allowed easily. Let the computer make the decision.
