My dad told me a story about Ronnie Sox in 1967 he set the NHRA record at lakeland dragway in Memphis then lost at 4 cars. NHRA had a rule then it was mandatory to tear down if you ran quicket than the record. Buster made Ronnie tear the car down after he lost. Ronnie was mad and my dad helped him.........3 years later my dad was able to drive for Sox and Martin. My point is Ronnie was going to leave and Buster told him if you leave plan on taking a year off.

What Bucky was saying is the NHRA Divisional and Tech people will be meeting next week (PRI week) to finalize changes for 2008. It is an annual thing nothing unusual.

I also agree with Buck on Len. He has always been straight with me and lets me know when I might be out of line. He is between the "rock and the hard spot", when changes are made he gets abuse from the opposition no matter what his stand was on the issue.
