Just look in the blueprint specs and look for the yellow highlight on that combo.
Mr Jeff, The point is ..we know all this.The question is "What do we do about it in 2017 ?"


Suggestion # 1,
Roll everything back to 1980 rules.
(This one won't fly, due to financial loss.)
I will help, if that's the concensus.

#2, Let it fly, until it morphs completely into Bracket II .
(There's probably a few who want the delay boxes too, but we'll go with II for now)

#3, JUST STOP, NOW. NO changes for 5 years.
This would include..No new HP combos before Indy for the FX cars.

Anyone who would like to turn this into an official C/R poll, be my guest.

Since I have no idea who you are I have a couple of questions that might help me understand your position......

Have you ever lost a heads up race??

Does the outcome of a race matter to you??

If you have lost a heads up race what actions did you take to prevent it from happening again. That is if you do care about it happening again??

Did you find a class or eliminator to run that had no heads up racing??

Are you having fun drag racing, if you drag race??

I am just attempting to find the reason that you participate in this type of drag racing and if in fact you do participate??

Thank you,
Bob Mulry

It is apparent to me that you totally missed the point of # 2

I guess I should have added a 4th option.

#4 , Just bitch about anything and everything until the whole country is racing again.

Sorry, Billy you are Tonto. You can see your star every weekday on Ch 367 on DTV. My schedule is lunch, followed by a nap till 2 then the Lone Ranger. and Tonto. About once a year you get the one hour version about the creation of the Lone Ranger and Tonto and the bad guys. That bit of information is worth the extensive 24 page reading of this mostly factual and somewhat embellished wing.

With option #4 you don't even have to do a poll.

No I don't have a dog in this fight but sure love to read Jeff's posts, the bad part being I'm old enough to know what he's talking about.
