Clutch man, who are you and what the hell are you talking about?

Damn it Jeff, I thought I got the buttons taken off the steering wheel !! And you get all the credit !! (laughing) JB.

Re: Who will have the first 8 second Stocker?
 

Now that would be flyin'! Will these 8 second stockers require a full firesuit and NASCAR type cage in all cars? What is the potential energy "transfer" between a 90 mph car and a 150 mph car?

Re: Who will have the first 8 second Stocker?
 

If you run quicker than 9.99 your supposed to have a full fire suit, neck coller and gloves. We all know how well that is being looked at. Not.

Jeff, good job of pointing out that this fiasco started a long time ago. I don't blame you are bringing it up. All this just points out how far we've fallen.
All we need now is for GM to release a supercharged max cubic inch combo that's faster then either of the CJ's or the V10's. Boy that will fix everything won't it. Once you opened Pandora's box there's no closing it is there.

Not sure where you get your information but we had to buy $500 worth of safety equipment (including gloves and neck ring)

There was the needing to pass a driver's test - currently rigidly enforced as far as we know

You also forgot a chassis certification - which we got

I am not sure what they require on the older cars - it should be the same

I hope the 9.99 rules are applied universally and even handedly

As stock eliminator cars get faster - safety is a concern


:-) peace

Is the parachute rule still the same used to be 9.99 or 150mph that they were required

Easy Fix: Buy it, run it hard, get the factor adjusted, sell it! Except for collecting the $90000 to buy one or what Jeff said about the weight breaks.
