I'm sure Lang won't get into a discussion on i-sites, as NHRA has a leash on social dialogues where the company line (or silence) can't be legal-proofed....it sure looks like they came down on Travis at one time, who now uses a disclosure

That said, it would be helpful if ND would just address what most of us believe, that is National Event track conditions are set up for wheel speed not dead hook...just confirm it and let the hi-HP sportsmen classes adjust chassis, low end power for that contingency

Since I believe NHRA will not listen to SRAC, board chatter or start line histronics, if I owned a new factory hot rod, taming 800-1000 HP on 9" tires, after spending $100K with one of the big 3 mfgs, I would ask those mfgs with their supposed clout to address this with NHRA.....how do they want their brands to come across to spectators, or heaven forbid, their customers

This is assuming they care after the sale

Since many believe Ford has lined NHRA pockets to acheive some unknown corporate stock-enhancement with their shareholders, and, it seems, the Ford flagship drivers are unhappy, go to Ford racing (or Mopar or GM) and ask them to intervene....do they want their corporate image looking like a tire-frying street junkie or a high flying wheels up balls-to-the-wall 21st century factory hot rod

Finally, it sure looks like NHRA is sending many signals that National Events are not for S/SS racers....if you attend, I think you must plan on the worst (parking, schedule, track prep, cancellation, no empathy)
