Gary,

Don't get your hopes up; this change would never, ever, net NHRA one red cent, and it would cost money for the changeover software, so I think it chances of its ever seeing the light of day are slim-to-none.

I've tried to get the racers on this board to support this idea for years, and I can't even get the guys with
S-L-O-W cars to agree that it's going to be beneficial, and they're the ones getting screwed the most with the current system.

Most of the racers who are against this idea, I am convinced, don't understand how it works.

I am sure that NHRA has no interest in making this change. It's such a simple idea; if they wanted it changed, it would have been changed years ago.

But, thanks for your interest and kind words.

Bill

here's my .02 cents worth (and i should know)

i knew the rule when i chose my class / car (28 years ago)
i know i have a disadvantage on the redlight rule

i used to have advantage on class winner money ( until i was enhanced)
i now have another disadvantage on the line - two steps (some enhancement relief last year)

however... i still have advantages

i enjoy a good slick track, especially when paired with a-b-c radial car
i still spend less than an a--b-c car (but still way too much... enhance enhance enhance)
i never hit the wheelie bars and spin
i put up wiuth less assholes...the guys who race in o- w are a much nicer breed

captain
i agree with billy... lose the reaction times & incrementals
