Would it be so hard to give us, let's say, 30 days for our input?

NHRA should do that for certain engine PARTS too!
Oh, wait a minute, then they would have a harder time getting their "Buddy Deals" through. Better to just sneak them in.

Sorry to go off topic...but speaking of "buddy deals", what is the connection to CFR Performance, who happens to have an awful lot of NHRA-Approved oil pans?

Why not just be fair and let everybody have them

In my faster Stockers...... I have a hard time shifting
the cars when they are way up it the Air.

This leads to me (literally) hitting the tree occasionally.

Of course.......I am pretty old!

We all know there are quite a number of early cars that
are willing to risk running E shift 1st to 2nd.

I am sure I would get caught the first race!

I still wish it was legal.... for everyone I race against
in other lanes well being.

I agree John. Actually now that I'm thinking back a few months....there is a good chance I would have run the tree over had I not had both hands on the steering wheel when I launched on a junk track and took an immediate right turn in the left lane.

If thats such a big problem, I guess all the higher class stickshift cars must need electric shifters too, right? For safety, of course!

Seriously, how can you guys not make a couple of shifts with an auto trans?

[Bob Don]

I may be in the minority here, but anything that diminishes the input of the driver weakens the class. Drive the damn car!

I was thinking the same thing....Kevin Helms won Stock world championships with only ONE hand on the steering wheel !! What a bunch of pansy azzes ???
