nhra-announces-jet-car-program
Just wanted to say thank you to NHRA staff for shi%%ing on the sportsman races every chance they get.
As if National events were not jam packed already you guys go and add more BS exhibition runs to National events. Great job Peter, Glen and the rest of the NHRA staff. Because Jet cars will bring in the fans over top fuel and funny cars. LOL

Re: nhra-announces-jet-car-program
Should be neat lol hopefully stock gets to go after them when they melt all the rubber off the starting line lol ! I knew I sold my car just in time lol .
I guess they are saving more money no track prep no oil downs !

Re: nhra-announces-jet-car-program
My take: Since its the end of the night, after TF #2 under the lights, why not squeeze in a few big wheelstanding stock and superstockers in before the jets.......Not a qualifying run, a very limited wheelstand contest for selected racers......for money of course......$2,500 to the winner? Fans would like it, wheelies under the lights.
Since the national events are all about performance, then stock and superstock could do its unique performance art in front of the fans, when they are actually there, and paying attention. Might attract some new racers and fans , and god forbid inspire a kid or two to do what we do. Its an idea, and I'd gladly put another run on the dakota in the 9inch tire class, I am sure Mike Iacono would be game with with his Pink wheelie machine. Eric

Re: nhra-announces-jet-car-program
What's the oildown policy for jet cars? Don't they "oil" the track every time they make a run?

Re: nhra-announces-jet-car-program
Two things need to change. No.1, all Jet Cars must be front engine chassis only. After No. 1 is accomplished, we then move to Eric's
evening Stock/SuperStock show. J.R. |

Re: nhra-announces-jet-car-program
I like the front engine idea.
