We suspended cars don't have the luxury to be able to speed up the cars reaction time like the supergas/supercomp cars. Just because the pros have a hard time with the tree, doesn't mean us sportsman cars should have to have the opposite problem. Especially at divisional races where the pros don't even run!
Well Said!
And to get back to Gary's original question, I personally think NHRA (or any organization that runs .90 pro tree) would have more to gain by going back to the format of .400 and .500 tree at all events and races. This would bring back or bring in new and past racers that are on the cutting edge of hitting the tree in their perspective class. Just my opinion.
