I believe that if you DON'T change this rule, the same people will continue to win and the same will continue to lose.

As far as election analogies go, only thing I'd say is yes, some changes are bad (last 8), and some could be good (next 8).

The best drivers are the best drivers. And the best drivers who race the most will win the most, it's a matter of driver quality, seat time, and the law of averages.

I really don't care if the rule is changed or it isn't, I just want to race again, hopefully next year is the year we get back.

However, this rule change is merely rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Read what Rampy said. That's the true telling of the tale. That's the gospel on the health of the sport. The plain fact of the matter is that the first redlight rule has been here since the first Christmas tree. It sure as Hell has not suddenly caused a decline in the health of the sport, and changing it will have little, if any effect on the sport.

What Alan said....

and if you didn't see exactly what Rampy said here's the link...it's what Billy said and I paraphrase " ..they (NHRA) just keep hoping we go away"...

BTW 'Tech-less' races will be the death of class racing if it happens, we've got bigger issues facing racers than this, let it rest already.

Tech-less racing will be very close to honor among thieves. The Tech people make all this class racing mean something, if we loose them we will loose "Class racing"!

I don't even see how a rational person can even consider the idea, it is devoid of common sense.

No tech = bracket racing and you know how class racers feel about that.
