Rock,

I am not in D3, but lets get rid of the 10.90 rule, and I hope in my division we can start running R1 on Saturday's? Thanks for starting this thread "Rock".:D

Several years ago I had a dragster with front brakes for static burnouts. I had a handle for the front brakes which made it great for unloading. They bounced me in tech at Pomona for a secondary braking system. I had to disable before they would pass me. Really dumb rule. (thanks John Force)

1st rd for super street on saturday and allowing s/st drivers to race in a second class

Re: Race Issues...
 

How about lowering the weight limit for S/ST down to 2500 or 2400? As it was explained to me at the time by an NHRA official, the increase from 2500 to 2800 was to minimize the RT advantage of tube chassis cars back when they were on a 0.400 pro tree. Now that the tree is 0.500 it would probably be in everyone's best interest to not have 300 or 400 lbs of ballast on these 150+ mph S/ST cars...

Great...........160 + mph SST cars :eek:

Re: Race Issues...
 

Some aren't to far from that now !

Glad to see Joe changed Sun to Sat on first round for s/st

Re: Race Issues...
 

I would like to see anything done that would shorten Sunday and get us home earlier.

I would like to see the hand brake rule removed, I had it installed on my new American as a safety item.

Thanks Rock, BB

Rock,

as one of the unlucky souls that (generally, uncompetitively) races an overweight, mostly steel Chevy II in SG because I want also to run SC, I'd support the recommendation from Alex and others to drop the "one class" rule for S/ST... I might have a chance to move from a 3-digit to a 2-digit reaction time in that case...

I don't, however, think it makes sense to invite more true (i.e., lightweight, tube chassis) SG cars to run in S/ST by lowering the min weight for S/ST. Need to give the little guys a chance to run without being 25-30mph slower on the top end than their competitor (like I am today in SG...). Also allows the local racer to run their bracket beater at a divisional event when the show is in town.

See you in Stanton.
