This forum made up mostly of active racers continually speak of the sustainability of class racing but on the other hand there there’s cars in competition aren’t in compliance with the rule book or so I’m told. With that be said isn’t time that the racers take responsibility for the future of it all and stop blaming the sanctioning body? I loved Brett Velde’s suggestion of a sponsor that will subsidize the cost of a dedicated technical team. Pursue that great idea and police the questionable characters within your own division. If you see something, say something. Make our sport great again!

Integrity of competition which enhances viability and sustainability of the class racing format, which will exponentially boost and maintain the participant numbers by also and hopefully increasing payouts for the foundation and heritage of drag racing.

I know a lot of stock racers and none of them are cheaters. Who are these cheaters?

My goal is to walk the knife edge line and never cross over to the dark side!

For the love of class racing that has been around for over 50 years and is the true backbone of NHRA. Whoever the sponsor, I'm sure they would profit for the support they're giving the racers. I haven't crunched any numbers, but I bet the $$$ would not be outrageous and I assume the tech guys wouldn't mind some extra $$$. Might even bring some out of retirement for the right price LOL. I think the main hurdle to overcome would be getting NHRA to stand behind the tech officials when they enforce the rules. Just an idea that I've thought about for awhile.

So, the sales pitch is that a company is going to profit by putting their logo on the shirts of tech guys that are hired specifically to go after racers that are anonymously accused of cheating? That sounds very promising!
If cars are so obviously wrong and you feel it is ruining class racing, how about pointing out the errors to the racer first? They may not even realize that their car is wrong. If they don't fix things, protest them. The original post doesn't sound like this would even require a tear down. I don't see things that are so obviously wrong taking a lot of time to police. What am I missing? |

So what should happen when the class has been refactored by 100hp by people running illegal stuff? I'll tell you what happens... we end up with the same parts prohibited by the rulebook and passed through tech that everyone else runs so we can run competitively. Do they go back to the original factoring and stop the massaging or keep it as is and overlook the obvious?
