Ive been bashed for years about stuff so get used to it....lol. Good idea about getting rid of the throttle stops and build your car to run the index. Ive said this forever.

Terry,

Let's add to that the delay boxes as well. Get rid of these two things and drivers will have to go back to driving their cars.

You get your wish Robert, there are NO delay boxes or timers in the index racing. Just manual fixed throttle stops.

Of course some of them use adjustable release trans buttons which all you are well informed about.

Although throttle stops weren't allowed, people were using timers for nitrous, which is like a throttle stop in reverse. Just progam in the right number of thousanths for your shot until you run the number.

I ran no throttle stop, delay box out of car, rpm switch for shifter disabled. I launched .400 pro tree, had two .001 lights, and shifted by hand at a pre-tested spot on the track. Run slower - shift earlier. Run quicker - shift later.

But it throttle stops aren't allowed, nitrous timers shouldn't be either. They accomplish the same thing - ultra-tuneable computer--controlled e.t.'s.

I agree with you Indyracer. The series I run in bans timers of any type. They do alow RPM shifters. Being able to use nitrous timers completely makes the rule against throttle-stops a joke.

I would really enjoy seeing more heads up class in NHRA divisional and National races without incorporating them into Competion Eliminator, they should stand alone. Look at the Olympics, they introduce new sport every four years to see if they will have a following and remove sports that people have no interest, we could do the same with Alcohol F/C and A/D removing them to give room to an emerging new categories.
