Maybe they want to put a little fun and entertainment back in the class. I bet it gets a lot of attention that it wouldn't have otherwise .... if it is allowed.

Wish I could go, I'm all for it!

Ed not to bust your balls but if you can't run 1.20 under or dam close in mine shaft air you need to go work on your car. And yes spend some more money. With all the different enhancements we have had the last few years I think you would be surprised on how many different combos can go that fast. Take a look at Indy and how many went 9 under. And there were a lot more that just didn't put it on kill once they felf they were in the show. Having said that you still need to keep the 1.20 under into play. If just wouldn't be fare to the rest of the opens that have. Most of the older cars have a hp rating that is pretty dam close to where they should be. Every now and than someone finds an older combo that runs like a truck. Now I would be in favor of lifting the 1.20 on all 1999 and older combo's. Lets face it it's the newer cars that aren't even close to the true hp ratings. Barry
