The concept long lost with the unlimited Spring and Duration Rule.
Few Tech people who knew how to measure a cam.
Today a simple to attach tool could do that now.

NHRA would not have put on the 1/8th mile series if there was not something there.

NHRA is looking at adopting CM.
The documentation has already been developed.
When they do expect three tenths to be cut matching current Dial-Ins.

In my opinion NHRA needs to give the Stockers a Hair Cut.
A lot of tracks had to convert to 1/8mile because of the higher speeds and the insurance companies liability insurance.

NHRA needs to limit Stocker Spring Pressure to something like 120-130lbs and leave the Lift Rule in place.

Think SS needs a similar rule to slow them down a bit.
Such as a Lift Limit Rule..that goes something like this.
350 cuin * 1.8 = limiting lift to .630 lift
454 cuin * 1.8 = max lift .817

Dan,
The NHRA does not need to do any of the things that you say they need to do.
The NHRA is doing just fine without doing all those things.

The IHRA, which you supported, is not doing well. That is why they changed their format.

Again, someone please explain to me why the NHRA should change anything or accommodate anyone, just because the IHRA changed their format.
Go complain to the IHRA or whatever, but stop trying to justify why the anyone should change the rules to accommodate a bunch of racers who could not make a go of it in their own association.
