Marty,
That was an excellent post, well written and informative. That's exactly why I supported the guys voting for you in Division 1. I knew they'd be getting a great representative. And they did.

The rest here is NOT directed to Marty.

As far as it goes, it looks a lot like NHRA is seriously penalizing guys who have something that runs. That hit in Marty's example is pretty harsh.

And you know, my junk ran 1.00 under, and it did NOT have anything illegal in it. The idea that anything that runs 1.00 under must be illegal is total crap.

As we have just had experience with this at the Baby Gators I would like to give our explanation to the way it played out. First and most important to the scenario is that my son has only been racing for the last year and a half. He is 21 years old. There were 3 cars in our class and with an index of 11.00 he won the first round but went 9.984 for the first trigger. So now he is in the final against a very good competitor. So my choice was to protect the combo and deny him his first shot at a possible Wally or do you let him race for it???

As a father I think you made a very good call. Your son now has a class winner Wally. Kudos to him on a job well done.
