Limit valve spring pressure. Maybe 120lbs seat, 300 lbs @ .500".

Moving a front mounted battery to the trunk is a no brainer, simply from a safety stand point. -Al

Maybe tear down #1 qualifiers when they're goofy fast?

Best request yet ! I tried to get NHRA to set spring pressures at 150 lbs and 350 lbs open back in 1985. That's the same as a 426 street Hemi and a 440 6 pack if I remember right. It was like talking to a wall !

Well that's an interesting idea. Do you really need much more seat pressure than this? Seems kind of wasteful on a lot of friction based valvetrain motors to run so much spring pressure...

Working brake lights from a mandatory, non-bypassable switch. So we can see who is hitting the brakes and when. Plus it could eliminate line lock and launch control starts. Brake lights should be on when you start, and not on until AFTER you cross the stripe!

First part of this idea would make fast cars have an advantage.

Allow TruStart and crank triggers. Get rid of E-shift.
