I like the way you think Bob, an entry level entry fee!! Works for me. 20 percent off!

Make all the Pro trees .500. That will allow a heavy car to run in SG

Winter depression must be setting in. Just listen to us. I doubt the window nets ever wear out just like seat belts. But the manufactures have more to do with the rules than they should have. The whole sfi is as corruptable as our very own government. It is all about money, NHRA is a buisness and kinda gready. Wally Parks wanted a safe place for us to race, it got BIG and the current state of racing is what we have. Not only are there no answers that fit all, I doubt we could all agree on a cup of coffee.

If you want it simple, bracket race.

Fair racing on a level platform takes a lot of rules, just look at comp eliminator. For the rest of us, electronics is the great, cheap, equalizer. We choose to go faster and quicker.

just me 2 cents, Merry Christmas to all, Jeff

If anyone knows different, let me know.

I did look at the quick reference card NHRA sent out and it clearly reads "mesh type" window nets. It does not reference ribbon type.

Look at the date on that (reference card). The one they sent me must have been a left over. lol

The neck collars are spec 3.3 and I don' t see a expiration date for them yet. The SFI spec 381 is for the neck restraint system and it looks like five years. I will have to try to look for the SFI spec 3.3 and see if it expires. SFIfoundation.com is the website
