"""Tallest tires, lowest air pressure and figure out how to induce a consistent bog?""""

Myron,,, I can do that!!!!! only problem is as soon as they seen the flying toilet,,,,I would get tossed...............could do it on a fuel injected car fairly easy BUT most of them are still way to quick to leave on first yellow,,,even with all the tricks and the bog......I really believe I could get a U/sa and slower to work as long as it was still quick enough to run the index........could be fun.....hey,,, and you could drink a coke while your were leavng the line

Thanks Dan for making that post. And it would appear that you're not the center of NHRA's concern if you're so willing to offer your equipment up for inspection.

Why then, and who, is NHRA giving in to. There must be a handful of guys around the contry who NHRA has been made aware of. Enough for them to make the offer.

Personally - I want whatever it takes to make the starting line fair.

I guess as the Devils Advocate - there still needs to be a solution. No one has commented on the light reader rememdy I proposed.

And if it can foil their attempts we're halfway home. If that works and there are still delay boxes being used we would still need to cross that bridge.

I miss the "nearer" level playing field I thought was in place.

If you are going to accuse someone of a light reader or bring up an ex comp world champ (or someone letting a button go way after the car takes off) etc then you should bring names into it to bring some validity to back up your case. Otherwise it is just another rumor without a backbone and is considered dismissed.

Things being "possible" and things being acutally done in the feild we are in is a BIG difference.

Okay BOO, you're right. Gotta have a name. How about BOO did it? Funny how YOU want NAMES, but can't find the balls to post your own.

Dan, you're not even close to being on the who dunnit list. I wish I had a buck for each time I've defended you from a critic. There's no replacement for seat time.

I've seen Craig Bourgeois taked his 430 lexus to No Problem and leave off the top bulb. How you say, he had his right knee up to his chest and by the time his foot was on the gas pedal , he would be very close. It was somewhat consistent. I know if you don't foot brake often enough it is very hard to be consistent by not using blinders.

p.s. don't buy Craig's daily driver

no offense, but some of you people are nuts.

I'm just curious...if I had some sort of computer controlled, automatic hit the dial, GPS whatever system, then why in the hell have I moved my super stocker from SS/JA to SS/HA to SS/EA to SS/BS. I thought I was doing it to drive the finish line better.

As good as you are at the finish line why do you think that you need to drive it better? Are things getting tighter at the stripe?
