Frank, 'accountability', really? Don't recall accountability being in vogue in the past few years, within the higher ranks of any bureaucracy of course.

Wow!
I thought I was being reasonable, obviously you guys don't agree and I'm good with that because being skeptical is healthy I guess we'll see what he brings to the table.

Frank,
See post # 27
http://www.classracer.com/classforum...t=61035&page=3

Just my take on it.
That is why we have the "Bean Counters" running everything instead of a "Racer Orientated" person.

Glanced through that article as I sit here trying to recover from a really bad case of the flu.


An oil pan pressure switch? I really have to wonder if some one didn't suggest that just to see if he'd repeat it. Seriously.

"A moratorium on the introduction of new parts"? Seriously? From the guy who just forced them to buy new wheelie bars, and a complete new induction system that includes a new front clip for the body.


Now, to be fair, the TV package is the best deal NHRA has ever had, by far, it's good thing, a really good thing.

The licensing deal is good as well.

As far as oil downs go, it doesn't matter who oils the track, so long as they do everything safely possible to minimize the impact, and they are not a multiple offender, there's no need to beat people up over it. It's racing, things break. Now, continual, multiple offenses, sure, hit them for it. Intentional failure to minimize the impact (we've all seen the guy who unloads a crankcase or transmission pan and obliviously rolls right down the middle of the lane for the length of the track), yep, nail them.

We all asked for change, we all wanted Compton gone. Let's see what 2016 brings.

One solution to oildowns and live TV take a track like Z-Max 4 wide, only run 2 cars at a time. if a lane is oildowned just switch one car to another lane while the clean up is being done? Of couse not have anybody on track cleaning while cars go by. Go to 1/4 mile again.

Nothing personal, but the .90 classes with throttlestops looks confusing and stupid.
