Excessive braking, if tires smoke or car swerves from straight line your out. And everybody gets to race another day with an undamaged car.

No chillers outside the competitors pit space.

No pushing cars past the ready line.

RULER · 11-11-2019, 02:12 PM

Complete Tear down for all 1.2 under runs. Real random tear down.

The problem is a competitor may be sponsored with a pit spot at the top of staging, while you are in the back 40 at Denver/Topeka/Dallas/Atlanta/Belle Rose/Tulsa etc...

No Chillers in Staging would be a leveling of the field compromise. IMHO

Gump just out of curiosity why no chillers in the lanes?
They don't make a mess and I have never seen them slow down a race. 99% of racers have them off there cars 6-10 pair before they run. If anything they have helped speed up the deal because starting line crews are spending less time picking up ice and water off the starting line after class or heads up runs now.

As far as pushing cars, if someone has a crew willing to push them to the water box and the other car is not waiting on them then who cares.

now automatic tear downs for -1.20 runs I can get behind that. And to take it a step further any runs of -1.00 or faster should warrant an automatic carb or throttle body check. Just to keep a few LT1/L98 SS racers honest.

I 100% agree with Larry Hill you smoke the tires your out, end of story.

LT1 and L98 racers honest .......doesn't your car have a throttle body too?

Don’t forget the “Scale Cam” to make sure no spare tires or other removable weight bars fall out of a car after a fast run!

Why? Is there something to be gained by changing the housing width?

scott gray · 11-11-2019, 09:19 PM
