Bear in mind excluding cars from the classes will only help to dilute the fields even further. I think inclusion is the key not exclusion.

I completely agree with this statement on how do we enforce the MPH limit. We already have a breakout rule for ET, no way SHOULD we have another breakout for mph. BUT, the mph is obviously being looked at.

I was talking to my wife about it over the weekend and the only way I think a MPH limit would work is to make those higher MPH cars move up a class the following year.

For example, NHRA sets a MPH limit for Super Street @ 145 mph. Anyone who runs 145 mph or faster throughout 2011 in Super Street would be required to move to a different class (S/Gas) in 2012. (Correct me if I'm wrong here, but 145mph in Super Street SHOULD definately run 9.90 without the throttle stop. And they should already have the chassis certs and licenses to run that fast.)

So, throughout 2011 - Big Dog Domingues can run 152 mph every race if he wants to, but in 2012, he would have to move up to S/Gas.

Do I want to see this? No way. I rarely get to race Domingues and I enjoy having him in our class.

This is the only way I can see any type of MPH limit put on any class.

Thanks,

here ya go , this will fix everything :
S/C 7.00
S/G 8.00
S/ST 9.00

now before you yell *sshole that is 1000' ET,s

this will speed it up a touch ET, and also loose some MPH ( for the slow cars), and it will also let NHRA leave the big blow up finishline markers in place. check your time slips before *itchin please
