On this forum, the only correct answer is YES Tom. Discussing it further would only add more drama. Love the car though!!!

Bruce,

I do have a question for you concerning the notches. How is the dated deadline from NHRA sent out to the racers to ensure everyone is aware of the rule change/clarification? I didn't see it on any of the divisional pages. Beyond the folks who frequent this forum, and the people who have been talked to directly by NHRA officials, how is this handled?

Anyone else care to answer this question since I appear to be on the ignore list now? Thanks...

Against my better judgement and because I've received both NHRA letters I'll answer .First , you probably won't see anything on the division websites as the number of racers affected is small .Second , if you are affected by this change you would surely hear about it at the races - it doesn't take effect till almost Indy - that's almost three months- certainly most who would need these notches would go to a national or divisional race and be told of the changes by the tech staff .Third , there are forums such as this one where the changes are made public and discussed .

You may or may not have noticed I posted a copy of my letter a few weeks ago and that really brought things out into the open .

Almost forgot- it is being discussed by the SRAC with NHRA officials .

Thanks for the clarification Jack. I wasn't sure how the process worked on something like this.

If I was in Tony's car for that one, I would say wheelie bars and some new undies! LOL!

No wheelie bars

First hit



2nd hit - 1 flat tighter on the front, and bit less clutch (nothing else changed)




Just saying.

That said......I do think I'm going to finally put them on the car though cause I like wheelies!!!

You can also dial power in or out on the stating line (turbo). And yes, I've worked on a fast turbo car, and done just that.
