I'm guessing alot of high gear foggers or big plate systems.

What about 2 steps and trans brakes ? Delay boxes ? Any weight min. ? like in S/ST and H/R. If Div 2 is going to have this then lets see ALL of the rule limitations if anyone would want to give it a try. .

I've done it with my street pickup truck at Dragway 42 for their 20.0* index class New Year's Day. Launch in Low 1, run it up to a certain rpm, lift, let it drop to a certain rpm, get back in it, put it in Drive. 19.97 on the first run, adjust rpm from there. It's not that hard.

$.02,

Did anyone even check the 2 cars in question?

And 130 is Big MPH? LOL

No one got checked at Indy for electronics or throttle stops. The cars we watched were 8.90 cars, one of them runs Indy a lot and definatly has a throttle stop. The other car launched the same way; hard launch, off the throttle for a 1/2 second or so and then back on the gas all the way to the stripe. All the classes had racers hitting the brakes or womping the throttle before the stripe, nothing wrong with that.

No tech (other than safety stuff) and tear down's so NHRA could save on not having the experienced tech crew's. No record keeping of engine spec's, no more AHFS, no complainning about who is cheating and who is not.. No electronics, throttle stop's, timer's, 2-step's (maybe), air or elec. shifter's. No high dollar lifters, no cheated up heads, intakes. Cheaper engines etc. NHRA still can have the chassis certs, memberships and car numbers that is required now not to mention the pre entries for national event's and grading points to enter.
Whats not to like.......LOL. I think the next few years will be interesting.

Good points Terry, but if the 'Unleashed' program is implemented to replace certain classes due to the tech requirement aspect I would think the 'Unleashed' cars would need those tech people to check for timers and delays and other electronic gadgetry....that area alone could increase the tech workload more than it is now as transmissions and the rest of the drivetrain would have to be torn down to look for all of the creative electronic gadgets that could be employed.

The actual cost of teching 'Unleashed' cars would probably exceed the cost of teching S/SS and Comp cars.

I am not sure how this is going to go over, NO contigency, NO grade points, looks like if they really wanted this class to work with $100.00 entry fee, they would have a little more incentive to compete!

But no courtesy staging so if you can get in deep you can still cut a light....and to Woodrow's point, they are giving Wally's and if you look at the track facebook pages (I know but I made an exception this time) the local racers are excited to be able to compete...I'd bet there will be more Unleashed entries than Stock, Super Stock and S/ST combined.

Well the entry fee is $50. + Cheaper and the payout is $200. MORE than for a guy running s/st , there's an incentive.....

I hope it doesn't float..........
