.370 back to .400 Pro Tree

I think nhra needs to take a vote, like they did a few years ago, on changing the indexs. I guess if you want to give everyone a chance, make it one second between the yelloe and the green, that way even the studebakers have a chance. I don't run a delay box, so if they add more time, I Will probably retire. I will not put a delay box, or throttle control box in my car.

Use to be super Street was 2500 pound minimum, and they had .4 tenths pro tree. They changed that, now we have 150+ 10.90 cars

Sounds like you are on the wrong forum then , you seem to be more in tune with the 8.50 ,10.0 and 11.50"index class " racers......Plenty of those races out there .
If you want to race on "The Big Stage " It requires hard work and dedication. .....The constant Bull about ,I don't have a Roadster, I don't have a big engine , I don't have a big budget is just an excuse . ....I know many racers without any of those that are competitive .
Any voting on Class Index's and tree sequence times should be voted on by racers who actually compete and support the class , not just someone who paid a few bucks for a number and races once a year at their local track because they can't race Brackets that week because the NHRA is there.
How may who want to change everything to suit their cars will actually show up for all 7 Division races ? ....My guess is not many .
I find it both amusing and amazing that after more than a decade after NHRA changed the tree that this is even an issue.

Wow, sorry I ruffled your feathers Tom. I know you are a hitter and do go rounds in Div 1. And no, I don't have a roadster like you, and no I don't have a big motor, and not I don't have a big budget. Leave the tree alone. You go changing the rules or the tree, then people have to make changes. The guys with boxes, just add or subtract. No I don't have a box. Any yes I went to all the divisional this year in my division. And I don't think I am legal for the 8.50 class. The only class I am legal in is super gas , super comp,. Super pro is messed up because NHRA changed the tree for box racers, so they could top bulb race after about a 1.2 second delay. Do you run you car all out? Or do you throttle choke it. I should have looked you up this year at the US NATS, but everyone can enter that race if you have a grading of one. I hope we meet so.e day and I will like to shake your hand, and introduce my self. I know, I just don't want things changed for a group of people who don't race the class. Look at the car that won the championship, this year AWESOME. All the cars that compete are awesome.

How many cars in the top ten are not roadsters in the Lucas National points. I know of one a Camaro, and he told me he don't run a throttle control, but does have a delay box, and yes he has three pedals also.

I do know a guy out of div 1 that runs super Street in a mustang. I don't believe he has a box of any type in his car, and his car looks almost stock. I usually see him once a year, usually at Columbus. There was a guy who won the national championship about five years ago in a Vega. Not a hi mph car. You know him, I bet.

You did pretty good last year Tom. Hope you have a better year this coming year. You know what I am saying.
