Re: The rumor of the day
Chad,
Can you explain to me why you think this change would in any way affect the number of cars crossing over? All it does is level the playing field in the interest of fairness. What's wrong with that?

Dragracingonline.com reported last Friday that NHRA is considering the same change.

Re: The rumor of the day
Why is it a good thing to stay on your converter for three seconds when you have already won?

Re: The rumor of the day
Because you haven't already won until you leave. You may redlight worse than the first car did.
No red light will show until after BOTH cars have left the line.

Re: The rumor of the day
Waste of time, all you need is a two way radio and when your crew tells you to abort you let off. It wont fix anything or level anything.

Re: The rumor of the day
I would love to see this. Yes, make it a level playing field.
Chad, if NHRA cared about tradition, the '55 - '57 Chevy's would still be running stock elim.

Re: The rumor of the day
No red or win lights will be shown till the second car launches....so a crew member with a radio won't help.
