even though I would love to see a buy back -
it would take 5 days instead of three to complete a points race in Div-1.... maybe 6

Ang I was being just a bit sarcastic with the buyback post.I do think that your safety improvement posts have a lot of merit though.

A corvette is classified as a "2 door coupe", therefore not allowed to run SS modified stock classes. However, everything from trucks to front wheel conversions are allowed. I would like to see the rule changed to read like modified only w/ the engine restrictions that are applied to modified stock. Basically, the only car they aren't allowing to run this class is a Corvette. Along the lines of modified classes, it's time to change the "no rack/pinion" rule for older cars. This is a safety issue, can you imagine running a '57 chevy @ 160 mph w/ 1957 technology under the frontend! When NHRA/IHRA allowed the frontwheel drive conversions/comp cars to run rampent w/ the rules they should have allowed the older modified cars the same advantages. Just my .02

How about NOT change anything for 2 years....

and use that time to gather information and come up a comprehensive PLAN to address all of the areas that require change and only change what was needed....

NAW that will never work.......
