Current rules you’d like to see enforced

They don't make a mess and I have never seen them slow down a race. 99% of racers have them off there cars 6-10 pair before they run. If anything they have helped speed up the deal because starting line crews are spending less time picking up ice and water off the starting line after class or heads up runs now.

As far as pushing cars, if someone has a crew willing to push them to the water box and the other car is not waiting on them then who cares.

now automatic tear downs for -1.20 runs I can get behind that. And to take it a step further any runs of -1.00 or faster should warrant an automatic carb or throttle body check. Just to keep a few LT1/L98 SS racers honest.

I 100% agree with Larry Hill you smoke the tires your out, end of story.

Don’t forget the “Scale Cam” to make sure no spare tires or other removable weight bars fall out of a car after a fast run!

I had a 58mm Throttle Body left over from my 383" street engine. Wondered what it would be worth on my 350" SS engine. Track testing one day, I tried it. Was worth ZIP!.
Factory throttle body flows right at 750 CFM on my flow bench. Not many 350"s need more than that. Maybe I'm not making enough power to need more.

Because it's written that way in the rulebook.

As I stated in an earlier post I see photos of cars that sit low on a 9x30 race tire that back in the day you couldn't never fit a L60-15 under.

No Chillers in Staging would be a leveling of the field compromise. IMHO

I very often get parked in the pits, down near the end of the shut down area. If you get to pit near the staging lanes, it’s no problem. What does a chiller in the staging lanes bother?

The current rules don't allow one. It is one of those rules that is selectively enforced.

1. Rear axle housing width must be same as original equipped

Ok it’s your turn ������

Why? Is there something to be gained by changing the housing width?
