Can We Un-ring The Bell

One thing I have noticed on the last couple Topics is how much peoples ideas are different on what they feel is what is good for classracing.

There are those that feel a 1.3 or 1.4 or even 1.6 or more under car is just the way it should be in a performance based sport, and there are people that have spent just as much with their oem parts because they can't get aftermarket parts approved who feel that they will never get to that point. Those may feel the .95 mineshaft rule is a good deal, others don't. I feel the same way Perrone does that we should have to qualify to get into National events, others don't. Some dont like the AFHS system at all,, some do.. Lonnie Grimm said that all options were on the table to look at the AFHS system, and the first change he made, half are mad at it. What I can say is you will not make everyone happy no matter what they do.

Richard Petty told me one time at an IROC race "whats the difference between a puppy and a racer? Puppies stop crying when they get older" that applies today too for some. Was there really ever a time when no one complained about how NHRA ran class racing? Or was it just different things?

Did Lonnie make the AHFS change or was it the SRAC ?
