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

It seems like things are getting in line through all classes now. It wasn`t long ago the a driver in a low eight second Super Stocker only needed the license,chassis cert,a jacket and helmet. No gloves,neck collar,arm restraints or fire pants. I never could figure that one out. Now you need single layer fire pants in a 12 second Stocker,but not a 10 second bracket car. Can`t figure out that one either.

If you guys who want to do something constructive with your posting, try sending email, letters or other devices to NHRA to make 3 new classes in Stock, 6.0, 6.5 and 7.0 and one new super stock 5.5. We want it (Mopar), Ford wants it, NHRA ain't opposed to it, they just need input from the racers. The we would be gone for the most part, then you guys especially you Bowtie folks could worry about something else, like getting GM involved in the car wars. SS in the 7's, Stock in the 8's, after all, this is 2011. Then we can get back to the unfair stuff that was there before we took all the attention, the heads that the Fords got, the heads the Chevy got, no heads for the Mopar. What is that about? I bet yall thought I forgot about those things.
