We need a new "instant" trigger!

[Ron Ortiz]

I truly do not have an agenda, I like drag racing. I hate seeing cars dump at the top end in a so called performance class like Stock. I hate seeing the .90 class cars die on the line and then come roaring back to life. From a spectators point of view these types of racing is killing the sport.

My solution is simple and would be very effective.

1) Eliminate the trigger and let them run out the back door
2) Record ALL runs and their incrimental times.
3) Have class eliminations at every race.
4) Re-evaluate all data after one year.
5) Reset the AHFS from acquired data.

You will be kind of back at square one, but with all the combos more in line of their true HP rating. Also after running the cars all out for a year, no one will want to come back to the "old way."

If someone wants to sand bag, they will get caught up with it when an opponent pushes them. Then their cover will be blown by the incrimental times.

This is just my opinion as a spectator and true drag racer.
