Yes! This should be a standard.

Mandatory tear down for 120 under cars only
I’m a little late to class racing. Be doing it 15 years
How about if you a 1 second I Under they randomly look at the car?
Not gonna happen. Divisional s and National Events.
No time to do it Nhra ain’t doing it. No time or help
Remember they lowered indexes 3 tenths about 12 years
What did that prove? There were a lot of fast cars still going 1 second under still
So reducing index. Don’t work. Us racers will still go fast
Indy is the only place to make system work.
If you go 120 under at INDY. You get Instant HP
Why is this a problem? It makes no sense to allow the BS to go on
If you can go this STUPID FAST At INDY
You NEED HP. Simple no more mulligans people
Stop with its INDY it’s ok. your combo is soft
Or your a good cheetah Flame on

I'm with y'all too, always think Perrone has good sense just doesn't have a filter!

[Bill Bogues]

one under you get hp; Wouldn't take long for difference between combo's to even out. my 2 cents worth.

BP you crack me up, I was out west in 2000/01. You"ll have to give me a loan& lots of advice. Thanks in advance brother.

[Gary Parker]

Fair enough Gary.


My only question is, and again, not arguing, where does it stop?


Meaning, you worked hard to get to 1.00 under. But the reason is, you're never satisfied (mark of a good racer, never satisfied, always looking for that next 0.05) with how fast you are. So, when you get to 1.25 under, what then?


Alan you asked a great question. Where does it all end. The simple truth is , that it does not. Look at the records in any class from 20 years ago. Then 10 years ago and now. First pro stock to go 6.99 or 200 mph. Comp cars running faster than ever. The hemi challenge time for the past 10 years. And how about Booby DeAround going 9.99 in his big block 1969 camaro. Now no one blinks if a big block camaro goes 9's. Lets be honest. Who thinks their car will be going the same times in 10 years if they still have it. If you do you are fooling yourself. If just adding horsepower is the answer, in time we will all just be A cars. Technology changes, rules change and parts get better. No not everyone can run out and get the trick of the month, but over time we have all gone faster than years gone by. To just say that far under or the trigger is here and that's it, will not work. I think we need to look at what has been allowed (like it or not) and go from there. There may not be an easy answer, but we will all go faster in time.....Just my thoughts.. Gary Parker
