Re: Proposal and NHRA and IHRA Responses
Yeah right. All the S/S automatic racers would be more than happy to give up their buttons and air shifters if they were to be combined with stick racers. Don't hold your breath looking for that to happen.

Re: Proposal and NHRA and IHRA Responses
Ed, never worry about the naysayers. Heck, this country wouldn't exist if the colonists did!
I hope they (the HRA's) appreciate your effort, I do. |

Re: Proposal and NHRA and IHRA Responses
The buttons are fine, I think the driver should have to shift themselves. We let go of the clutch and they let go of a.button. They adjust by using springs and shims. We as stick racers adjust by changing air gap.

Re: Proposal and NHRA and IHRA Responses
There is strength in numbers. Please everyone send an email to Graham Light and cc Glen Gray. If you want send me a quick email to trooper10538@netzero.com and I will attack my proposal so you can attach it to your email to them. Add your thoughts or whatever you want in your email to Graham. The more the better. Thanks.

Re: Proposal and NHRA and IHRA Responses
Got 3 more hate emails today. I won't use their language here. One said getting points for records is the stupidest idea ever and if they came into play for a championship the that championship would be tainted. Another one said you can't combine sticks and autos because sticks still have a huge advantage. The last one was just filled with hate speech that I should get out of SS period. He is a fellow racer that everyone knows.

Re: Proposal and NHRA and IHRA Responses
I think it's great that the sanctions are hearing from the S/SS community. I would like someone to explain why it's beneficial to combine stick and autos, and or cut classes in general?
