Glen you guys have been around for a long time. Your cars are always fast. And you do a bunch of work for Stockers. What's your thoughts on the new rule? BP

Yes Barry we are old.... lol. I don't think the change is going to effect the smart racers. Would be nice to have one national event to run our cars all out without getting penalized for hard work and time and money.

Ken H having to ask us in the lanes at Cecil tells you all you need to know.
They (meaning NHRA.... not our SRAC Reps) were itching to something.... anything.... to be able to say.... to the complainers.... that "something" was done.

Mr. Parker,

My comment was addressed to Billy and was an inside joke He and I have about my SS combination. It a V-6 combination that can run in 4 SS classes. SS/GM, SS/DS , SS/BX and SS/CX I have set records and even killed an index. My combination has been called everything from bogus to a Queer Car. Yes, the distributor hold down is the only "Stock" piece on my engine. You don't owe me any apology and I sure don't owe you anything since your "battle" wasn't even on my radar. After your comment to me I went back and read all the posts on this thread. I'm not upset about any combination that fits NHRA rules or about their AHFS system and any changes they make. We are playing in The NHRA sandbox and abide by their rules and regulations.
IMHO if you would chill a little your response to my comment to Billy Nees would not have warranted your response to me. Please Get a grip. This is suppose to be a hobby and fun for us and sure isn't something that makes or breaks one's life.

Adger I do apologize. I thought your comment was directed about my car. I know this is supposed to be fun, but I'm also very passionate about my car and racing. Part of the fun for me has always been to try and make my cars go faster than the others in my class. I have worked hard at it and don't want to see the hard work and money spent wasted because of a rule change. I now race in A/SA which you know is a popular class. If I'm lucky and go some rounds there is a good chance I'll have a heads up run or two at every eliminator. I also like to put a big effort in when we run class at events. This new rule will make it easier to get HP on cars that enjoy the performance side and run a class that is populated with several cars. Like others have said just play the game. A lot of us already do. And I'll have too even more. I was hoping somebody from NHRA would see the number of cars that play the game and have a better solution to the problem. This rule change has made it worse.

Thanks,
And I should have been more specific about my intent to jack with Billy.
From now on I will read all the content of a thread before I chime in and will limit my humor. Good luck and I hope you keep enjoying racing.

"or how he chooses to race"

How will the racers that never make a full run be judged and adjusted? Some of those racers have bullet fast cars and some have slower cars. Jody, last year's champ, does he ever make a full run? I believe he spot drops. So is he "sand bagging" and need his combination adjusted or is it just the way he races?
