NHRA stock racing returns to it's roots!

[Dave Ribeiro]

Tony, Toby and Richard,

Can't agree with you guys more, Get rid of the Blinders and Two-steps and lets race..Maybe our Reps. are listening and will push this through to NHRA powers to be ?... Good Luck racing in 2008 to all you guys... * Toby say hi to Mom + Jody ... Dave..1033/stock

How about we stop bothering NHRA by pushing for all these rule changes, and Just
**%^ing race already. Why can't we just all race the way we like within the rules that we have. NO MORE CHANGES!!!!! If we all get a rule change that we like, how about 1 lb breaks and combine sticks and auto's for more heads up?? I'm sure these guys wont like that change. Maybe the Reps will listen to that.

Toby so if I read your post correctly your saying you don't use a 2-step or button but both you and Jody do in fact use blinder's correct??

No, we don't use blinders. Never have. Also, Jody has never used a button or two-step either. He does use a transbrake and two-step in Super Stock, but no blinder.

Going by Peter Biondo's comments in Dragster about expecting other people maybe having problems adjusting to the new rules it sounds like he doesn't use them either. Maybe he could come on here and clear that up. Either way he one of the best currently racing.

Not positive if he's still using blinders, but Peter's still using the 2-step on the pedal. He had a problem with it when we ran in the finals at Immokalee, and the car rolled in on him. (Good thing, because he probably would've toasted me!)
He was using blinders last year: http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCPhoto.asp?ID=151403
