No Blinders

Everybody gets to leave off the pedal with their foot, maybe that's fair at the same time? I thought this issue was in regard to a supposed safety issue, not how we go about trying to cut a light?

Nobody said you are a bad driver because you would rather have a driving aid to hit the bottom bulb. I’m not sure if you realize you’re replying to someone who leaves off of the foot, with no 2-step and pulls every gear all while trying to make the slowest Super Stocker (12.50’s) in the nation consistent. I would love it if everyone would join the party. There is no reason to get mad at someone who supports a rule that makes hitting a full tree the objective in an full tree class. There are plenty of pro tree classes if you need to react off of 1 bulb.

Now, the SS/QA rule, I’ll take credit for that one, with the help of Paul Wong. But it was definitely my idea and NHRA listened to a logical argument. I

Mr. Gary, I am confused….Superstock eliminator needed to add another class LIKE you need ANOTHER hole in your head. After reading your diatribe it is apparent you clearly have your own agenda. You do REALIZE that class win $$ disappeared because of TOO MANY CLASSES . You convinced Pat C. to add a class that MIGHT affect 2 cars in the USA. WOW, I AM IMPRESSED !!…..Your exact words….I’ll take credit for that one/but it was definitely my idea…..I just hope that you can find a helmet big enough to fit that noggin of yours …Respectfully yours ……..,,MJ

Haha. So now I’m responsible for class money going away 15-20 years ago for adding 1 class today. Sound logic there buddy. Don’t be mad NHRA mad a rightful decision to add a 18 lb weight class for current competitors factored at 19.5 lbs/hp. A logical argument was made, something that appears lost in this interaction.

My bad. You’re just insinuating that 1 class added today is gonna keep the class money from coming back. I’d direct you to the factory classes being combined back to solve that issue. Maybe I’ll put that on my “agenda” this year…

I think if you'll read a little closer I said if it's an ....on track ......problem why is comp allowed.


But to answer your question I've seen some comp cars driven back to the pits this year specifically some factory shootout and ah cars.
