I agree Jack, I cannot understand the NHRA's thinking. They should give back the 3 tenths on the indexes, and set the limit higher for the trigger point. Why cant everyone just show what they got if they want without getting penalized? As usual, its the crybabies that get what they want.

I especially dont understand the reasoning why there is such a large trigger at a National Event. I would think that the spectators in the stands that could relate to cars that look "normal" would like to see the true potential of stock and super stock cars.

As jmcarter said. The first D2 race or as Horace & Stephen any D2 November race. These two races should really be at Orlando or Bradenton for best results as the weather is just mine shaft. They usually include a tailwind.

U/SA yes, it get cold in FL.

No more National Opens at Valdosta since they now have a prime early Divisional date. Least what I was told. You and Stephen kinda like that place and for good reason. Westcott likes it to.

Yeah and it's on the same weekend as a Div.4 race. Houston in the spring can be just as fast. Went to Houston this spring in GT/B to protect HP and still went .94 under.That would be 1.19 in SS/F.
