Well, it would do away with pretty much every Stocker from O or P on down.

The guys that are using a blinder are used to that scenario. That's how I race.

hello, yes I remember those days. If I remember correctly, AHRA was .30
tree. deep staging was allowed. other wise you were very late!!!!
this was before trans brakes were invented. also, when super gas first came out, a stick car was beating up on automatics, some one invented trans brakes. leveled playing field.

I do, Joe, and when NASCAR went drag racing they had the same thing...they called it the "leavers Lose" system. First ran it at Atco then again when I moved to South Texas I ran it in the AHRA at old Alamo Drag Strip.

Joe, we ran at Paris Tx strip for years with the .5 yellow Green pro tree. I pulled into a IHRA race (first National event @ Dallas International) and guess what tree they had. I was ready. Won the race & so much for the sticks not being able to run on it. My car was a 69 Z-28 Stick Ran NHRA F/S at the time. I like that tree.

I would like to see both top yellows come on at the same time then start the handicap down.
