Lets talk NHRA Stk/SS with Lonnie Grim - Ideas - Comments

[Jack McCarthy]

fellow dinosaurs ....
currently we are like the last group of dinosaurs when the ice age came ... we're huddled together trying not to die talking about the good old days ... i can see our breath

dear lonnie > you most certainly can fix a few issues and make our "hospice" way better.
common sense is the tool least used in nhra's attempts to keep us alive.

first of all id love to see more teardowns but dinos we all know the guys who can tear down a 62 413 cross ram and know what is right & wrong are too damn old to be working 14hour 100 degree days ... so we maybe the engine builders need to make themselves available to nhra or maybe some retired racers ??

the ahfs wont work unless as paul wong said you make it WORTH taking a hp hit : qualifying, points for records, increase quotas not field sizes, awards)

we are a killer car show ... however if we always run 1/4 till the rooster crows no one sees us most put cars in box asap so pit pass is like a trailer / motor home show.

now here is where my fellow dinos will roar maybe we chenge the classes a bit .... like all (s&SS) flat hood non FI mostly pre 78 into yesterday drags class and all the new 160mph hood scoop guys go to comp >> yall hate me but that be cool

and concerning the weights nhra has published for 40 years ... as a business person why would your tech department just "choose" to piss off 75% of your customers ... if someone wants to question what my car weighed in 1960 bring them to me

thanks and good luck sir its getting colder

oh a suggestion after track is secure if you would wander around the sportsman pits we'd really feed you good and several trailers have well outfitted bars... weve had TWO announcers RIP that we all loved and this is what they always did they knew about us !!!
