Understood, and realistically, since both Columbus and Atlanta are NHRA owned facilities, we don't want a conflict -- something that would be more of a decision for southern racers if we were at BG.
Nitro Joe is officially in. Travis will not be available, but I will study additional Tech options. I know Don at the track is all in -- he was working Tech at the two Columbus events and later doing pairings in the lanes. Mike Carr has offered to help in any capacity.
Yes, S/SS cars would be permitted to run No-Box as well with the same car. FYI, No-Box would most likely be run 1/8th mile. That's what that crowd likes, and S/SS cars would not get 1000' & 1/4 data to apply to their own class, so there wouldn't be a major advantage over guys that were just running S/SS. Or if you think it would be a major fairness issue, we could allow people to run No-Box just on Saturday, since that's just Qualifying and Class for S/SS. Your thoughts? I'm ok with allowing S/SS cars to run No-Box both days if everyone else is. Rules are basically the same as SS. Transbrake/2step and air/elect shifters ok. Will call Footbrake and Transbrake cars to the lanes separate.
Because No-Box will go more rounds, I think we can do a Sunday time trial for S/SS, which would allow people to get a clean 'bracket mode' hit in case they were on kill for Class.
