Mark, Where will it end? CNC heads, is that the end? "It's only money"; Four-link srear suspensions? "It's only money";... etc.
I do not agree with a lot that has been allowed over the years. However, I have begrudgingly adapted...and will continue to do so. At this point in my life I have the means. However, in the late 90's I ate tuna fish and lunchmeat sandwiches for three weeks while TDY, just so I could buy a Hedworth Carb, and an autometer tachometer.
I figure I have another 10 years (15 on the outside) before I'm done. I would like to see a 10 year moratorium on performance enhancements and other DEI enhancements, or enhancements given out every ten years. with no enhancement given out during the interim period... but I am only dreaming.
Maybe NHRA could re-implement a rolling year's legalization of cars. Only cars that are 10, 15, 20, or 25 years old. That way the field would be level, as everyone would have a newer car with all the bells and whistles.
Last paragraph TIC, i do not want to give NHRA any ideas.
