If you liked it before, you will still like it better than straight bracket racing. NHRA and their tech guys catch a lot of flack. I admire them for doing the job they do. If it weren't for them we would have no place to play. We would all be stuck with show polish racing, or "index" racing which is the same except they don't get to change the dial.

Probably will cost more than you remembered. Lol

but Ed at your age, its easier to forget how much you just spent. lol

Thank God we don't run off records anymore. One reason I quit. Everytime I turned around Earwood was resetting the SS/EA record.

I liked it better, but I was running off my own record most of the time.
