I talked to Bruce about this several years ago, and he sort of agreed with me.He said he'd bring it up.
Never heard any more about it.
Doesn't seem to matter to NHRA. They don't want the new kid anyway, unless he's willing to shell it out for 5-6 divisionals.

Yup.....made same point moving to NHRA.
Mike Beard made similar point earlier too.
Plus need a custom gas tank and special fuel.

Like I mentioned earlier ... NHRA needs us.
If NHRA relaxed to the 11.50 rule more of us would be right there!
