Most SC or SG cars had little to no problem with the tree before and now just have to roll a few numbers into the delay box to make the adjustment.
Mike , yes that's the supposed simple solution, I do it all the time at the local .90 races that run on a .400 tree. ...But believe me having that much delay is not a good thing when you miss the tree.
They may have done us a favor because I can soften my launch and save the hit on the tires ,but I'll be testing anyway to make it better and trying different things because I fully expect NHRA and local tracks to do a lot less track spray and prep due to the major price increases on the glue.
The part that sucks is years of hard work and money spent by serious racers has been thrown in the garbage .
It's no different than a S/SS combo that has been flogged for years suddenly being removed from the Class guide , some racers are going to be pissed .

NHRA is a business. If they make it easier they might save some racers that were struggling and thinking about quitting. Or possibly even get more new racers and maybe get some that have quit to come back. If they make it harder. Let’s face it. Changing stuff, testing and experimenting to try to get better cost money. That might be the straw that broke the camels back in a already expensive hobby. Less racers less money for NHRA. That’s my theory. It’s probably wrong but….
