QUOTE=louie conkey;346142]I had my petition at Indy and got quite a few signatures on it. I will bring it to the JEG’s race in Columbus as due to the shortened Indy event I didn’t get to some racers who wanted to sign it. Now some people on this site are talking about combining stick and automatic classes into one. It still is wrong. I’m sure it will happen soon, if we don’t make our voices heard. Free Speech you know.

If NHRA continues the “Combo” run-off, I think it should be off a dial-in not off the indexes. See the Combo Race at Indy, where in the automatic class a truck ran at 1.55 under the index and in the stick class a J/S was a second under. Other cars had no chance to run against them unless they would break or red light. (I know that’s the case in any match-up but Really!)

Find me in Columbus or I can find you to sign my petition in an attempt to be heard to stop the way NHRA is insisting on doing this “COMBO” RACE.

I believe the original intent of the petition was to award trophies for class singles. I don't believe it had anything to do with dial ins.
