Default Re: Sticks & Autos Together (Class)

Ed, and your Doppelganger...

I was running an NHRA Stock Eliminator (class legal) car in 1966-71... and worked as a Stocker Tech a 3 different drag strips from 1958 'til 1969.

Now, I am on a forum that is expressly designed for people who may or may not race, currently, but has self-appointed "moderators" who think they have the right to tell people what they can and cannot post.

Amazing...

If you don't like reading about what some people think may be a good idea for even-ing out the playing field when the rules change, DON'T READ IT1!

If I am watching TV and I don't like what comes on, I change the channel.

At least, if you don't agree with what's being suggested, have the intelligence to state your case and tell what's wrong with th idea being suggested, not just use the Fernandez approach and attack the poster for bringing up an idea in a forum that exists for non-racers (as well as current racers) according to Kan Miele, who runs this show.

Now, I'll ask both of you again, IF the NHRA combines the automatics and sticks, and IF the manual tranny guys receive "legal" clutchless shifting, what would you see as a way to make the automatics more conpetetive with the new "clutchless" sticks, in a heads-up race?

My thought is, give 'em a trans-brake, OR, a lockup converter (but, not both.)

This is a discussion forum. Let's discuss. If you feel like it's somehow beneath you to talk to someone who doesn't currently run a car in an HRA Class, then maybe you should frequent the BB that only accepts posts from people who have a current competition number. This forum is for the rest of us... Ken set it up that way. If that doesn't work for you, talk to him.
