I kinda like the way your "friend" thinks!

However, I don't feel that the indexes should be lowered. I also don't want to go back to the old "run off the record" days. It would hurt Racer participation too much.
I would like to see more tech, more teardowns and more adherence to the rules as written. Also stepping back a few years regarding rules which have been "liberalized" in order to make tech more able to be enforced by fewer and less knowledgeable inspectors.

Maybe NHRA should come up with a "rule" regarding E.T.s VS. trap speeds.
For example, if your "friend" has a mid-10 second car and is suddenly going 100-105 MPH then he's DQd.
I mean after all, high-speed braking is a "safety issue" right? ;-)
