NHRA seeking input on Delay Boxes/Switches

i cannot vote on this because i only race ihra but i can voice my opinion here. no to delay boxes. they practically ruined bracket racing. thats why dragsters dominate bracket racing. when i started racing it was all door cars with a few roadsters mixed in. but when delay boxes came in the good racers did not have the advantage they used to, thats why the quicker more consistent cars came along. now you have to have a 50,000 dollar car to be competitive in big time bracket racing. my point is everybody is going to be alot tighter on the tree so alot more people are gonna go to the faster cars to try and get the advantage back. as far as going to a pro tree you might as well take your slower cars and throw them in the trash, a 13 second wheels on the ground leaving car has no hope of hitting a pro tree versus a 10 second wheels in the air car.
