Just as Billy said and I would add those that come up here day after day to just complain about the current system when they are not involved in the sport at all should get a life and move on. It's ridiculous to see negative post one after another by the same people who don't race NHRA events all day every day!

Being the new unwritten policy of if you go 120 you will be torn down
I know It’s Indy
. But rules is rules.
Ok let’s hear it. Yes. Or No

Yes, if I'm causing a hit or taking a hit, I want to know it's right. Even with Indy not causing a hit, that should be the threshold. J.R.

So.... I come in to this game as a willing participant, knowing its going to take some work, and all I get is flamed by the "current" racers for questioning the rules? (Ran a few races and got my *** kicked.)

Thanks for the invite! "rolled eyes"

"Read Newbe"

I have figured out that I should have done some more homework on the class I chose ... #mybad

Thanks to all of you that have encouraged me to come back out with the car, It is much appreciated!

Challenge Accepted!

I'm not sure that I fully understand this post.
I get the "newbe" thing. I get the questions. If you don't like being "flamed by the current Racers" then you might try dialing back the sarcasm just a bit (or is it just my read).
Read the rules and play the game the way that you're comfortable playing the game. It's all part of the "homework".
The written rules are IMHO, very vague at best. But no-where in the rules does it say that you have to cheat. Racers make that decision for themselves.

And a LOT do just that. They have for years or NHRA would not spend the $$$$$$ for the new toy to check cylinder heads and manifolds nor would they bring back Wesley and Gracia to do the job.

Hey Chad...was good to see you at Brainerd last week. Steve Koppien and I are always available to help. You've got some good basics covered and just need to build from there. We've got several known - good QJets you're welcome to try. -Al

Thanks Al! Good seeing you as well. I was hoping Uncle Timmy was feeling well enough to drive the car but that is not happening. I think I have things sorted out a little better but I only have so much time to come play. Maybe see you with this car later this year.

I sure appreciate the help you guys have given me!

So..... for the learned that were there, did any Stock heads or intakes
get scoped, did any Factory Stock heads or intakes get measured,
or was it fake news to keep everybody on their toes? J.R.

As Billy stated I'm not exactly sure where you're coming from but my statement was pretty easy to understand I thought. If someone wants to come put generalized statements up here about cheating they better be prepared for some flames to be thrown their way.
I didn't have anything to do with the current system or rules or how they got there. I've never petitioned NHRA for anything but I do follow the rules as written so I take exception to some of the remarks being made. They are welcome to check my heads with whatever they got, digitizer or stick their finger wherever they like!
But what annoys me more than the cheating comments are the guys that come up here day after day with their negative comments about what it used to be or what a waste of money it is to give NHRA my money. Like I said before if they don't like it, move on and get a life I think judging by the "likes" my last comment got about this I speak for alot of people.
It's that simple!
