I would like to see NHRA police a S/ST or S/G car running in there respected class with the delays and T-stops then idle back to the staging lanes and run the 10.0 or 11.0 class with NO ELECTRONICS..This should be interesting. Next thing they will let some things slide in so cars could run both classes. We will see.

My mistake, I thought I read it somewhere that you could compete in one of these classes and another with the same car...Oh well. But, if they ran the race on Sat like I said I could run two separate races with the same car. My mistake, I will just run stock.

As far as the NOS there were ALOT of street cars that were competing in two different classes with and without the NOS. I ran some cars that ran 12.0 @ 115mph+. It is fun, but, I see a negative effect on this idea while NHRA is trying to push the UNLEASHED program they (NHRA) are trying to promote this style racing at Div 2 events. We will see. We will see.

Just a footnote to this thread which I kicked off...Unleashed has released it's full schedule, including Valdosta, Belle Rose and other places all over the country, including Fontana. Still strikes me as interesting that D2 is the only Division so far that's going to run some of their classes in conjunction with a LODRS event but as previously stated, this is probably a trial ballon and the track operators wanted it so if it helps their bottom line I'm okay with keeping an open mind.

Seems Division 2 is the hot bed for this type of racing.

Most, if not all, tracks had a program last year for the index racers. The classes were 6.5 and 7.0 and an Open Comp which was a bracket race with a 5 tenths tree.


The interesting part will be seeing these programs integrated with the divisional program.

I went to a "Skinny tire" race at SGMP last Feb that had over 400 race cars with over 100 index cars. The atmosphere was closer to the sixties Gasser Wars than any divisional race.

Big question will be if the new racers will put up with the three day format of the divisional and the costs associated to it just to get a Wally. It is cheaper to race elsewhere.

Maybe they hope NOS will replace the throttle stops to get the big MPH in relation to the ET's like the .90 cars......LOL.
