Get rid of 1k readings
 

I believe NHRA should get rid of the 1000' run slip readouts on all STK/SS runs. It would speed up the HP factoring and make all the 1000' dump racers work a little harder on figuring out what they "can" run. Your thoughts?

Be careful. I've been saying this for a while but have been chastised for it.
It seems a lot on here want to change everything that does not effect them.

I know you have Art; however I commend you for sticking to your guns. I race flat out, dial hard and make them earn it. Let everyone do the same.

All it would do is slow the program down even more when they start dumping at the 1/8th mile. They'll still have plenty of incrementals to interpolate their 1/4-mile ET. Any bandaid fix you can come up with, whether it be no 1000' times or no reaction timers, is going to hurt the everyday racer a great deal more than the pro. If the suggestion is made in order to fix a problem with the AHFS, then go straight to the source and fix the AHFS rather than institute a bandaid fix that will generate unintended consequences.

I say we get rid of ALL the incrementals AND reaction times...lets make things as challenging as possible...

Yeah thats the ticket.....X2

And how about a visual lane blocker from the 1000' to the finish, and instant green, Yeah now were talking! Now that would be a challenge!!

Dan, that is exactly the right idea

I remember those days. After a run.... i think i had a good light , no dude ,you were late, ya think ,i dont know maybe not....

Re: Get rid of 1k readings
 

I'd say, get rid of Dan ...and all the drivers! Replace them with an NHRA approved robot.

Maybe China could provided us one for under 4K . That would be less than a good racing transmission or a set of "Stocker" cylinder heads.
Of course, you'd have to replace BOT BOY every two years...for safety of course.

Now, that would be fair.

now your talking ! Id bet a lot couldnt find their azz with both hands if that was to happen !
