You can export run data to Excel after an event and do run completion to determine 'real' E.T.'s within a degree of certainty to eliminate the 1000' games. That methos may require a little wiggle room of a few hundredths to cover that uncertainty, but if a car is heading for -1.25 under at 1000', it's pretty obvious it can go more than -1.15 under and deserves a look.

That would make it easier on the cars that the pan won't come off in the car. There are more fun ways to spend a weekend that pulling the engine to pull the pan.

Isn't there already a class with these rules called comp? If that doesn't work there is the 90 classes with no rules and no teardowns. I really hate the argument that every one is doing it so let’s just make it legal. I say lets get serious about throwing out all the illegal stuff. If people don't like the rules find a class with the rules you do like

Don, I am afraid this is just a "next step" that would blur the line between SS and Comp. If they really wanted to tech in the pan they would have required an access hole with a bolt on cover and purchase a scope to just look inside. Next time anyone rebuilt they make the pan hole as needed. DONE. techable pan. I had been told hitting the crank tells the material so that could help.
I am afraid your thought would encourage the " Just race and keep the Hood shut" as an ultimate method of allowing all the things you believe are being done anyway. Tighter tech with trained people Could be done if they paid good money. But...... Its just a dial in anyway except Indy....Points meets and most National events. Too many combinations, Too many specs, too few tech men and too little to gain for this level Tech to become common place. Want to really limit the problems? Limit the choices, limit the specs making it easy for ALL to identify an illegal part, or carb or ... If people insist on more and more combinations in the book they are chosing to create the problems not constructively correct some of them. I am not sure why NHRA doesnot create a spec motor class where THEY sell the legal parts and then they make the money AND control the modifications to Zero. Kind of like limiting Tires in Pro Stock. |
