How about going to three years on Driver Restraint - make it the same as the Chassis Inspection.....

NHRA already took your money. They don't want to keep you around any longer than they have to.

They'll figure out how to get their hands in the pot .

Sounds good to me.

And Ed's buy-backs. :D

Re: "2012 and beyond rule proposals"
 

even though I would love to see a buy back -
it would take 5 days instead of three to complete a points race in Div-1.... maybe 6

Ang I was being just a bit sarcastic with the buyback post.I do think that your safety improvement posts have a lot of merit though.

Re: "2012 and beyond rule proposals"
 

A corvette is classified as a "2 door coupe", therefore not allowed to run SS modified stock classes. However, everything from trucks to front wheel conversions are allowed. I would like to see the rule changed to read like modified only w/ the engine restrictions that are applied to modified stock. Basically, the only car they aren't allowing to run this class is a Corvette. Along the lines of modified classes, it's time to change the "no rack/pinion" rule for older cars. This is a safety issue, can you imagine running a '57 chevy @ 160 mph w/ 1957 technology under the frontend! When NHRA/IHRA allowed the frontwheel drive conversions/comp cars to run rampent w/ the rules they should have allowed the older modified cars the same advantages. Just my .02

I actually meant to include something like this in my original post - very good point !

Re: "2012 and beyond rule proposals"
 

How about NOT change anything for 2 years....

and use that time to gather information and come up a comprehensive PLAN to address all of the areas that require change and only change what was needed....

NAW that will never work.......
