2016 Shoot Out Rules posted

Jim,

I'm in the same boat so i totally get how you feel. Like I said in my post under Jesse's I'm not going to attend Gainsville but will attend the last three races just so they get a first handed look at how much disparity there really is between these combinations.

Probably after Gainsville they would have already figured it out and will fix the problem by restriction on the S/C cars before Englishtown. Then again-I won't be holding my breath for that to happen. It could very well be that this is what NHRA really wants. Likely if they do fix it will be only because the S/C cars will be way too fast to run with the standard cage which is only certified to 8.50. The S/C cars can run so fast it's shocking and have yet to really show what they are truly capable of.

If anyone doesn't believe me-just ask Clay Arnett. He will be the first to tell you there is no way to run these cars against each other in their present form. In fact he already said so in another thread a while back if memory serves me correctly.

Guess we will have to see how this all plays out?
