No Blinders

Hey guys, how bout we all wait a few days till NHRA rescinds the blinder rule. With the first points meet February 3, it won’t be long. Then all you crybaby CHICKEN CHITS can now move your AGENDA to eliminating 2 steps in stockers.

Hey guys, I'll call in your favor, if you'll call in to bring back deep staging..One for one.
Oh, and be sure to ask for Tru-Start as a good will gesture.

Do you think eliminating 2 steps is next? I figured it would be roller lifters for everybody. That seems like a hot topic right now. Hadn’t heard about the 2 step thing.

M.J., old bud, I know that Stock isn't "stock" anymore but could you please point me in the direction of any "stock" car that came with or had as an option a 2 step?
I'd appreciate that. ;-)

And that Tru-Start stuff would be OK too! It kinda makes things "fair", doncha think?

Just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in, Ive been bracket racing since the 80s and have had so much fun doing this, no blinders, no electronics or 2 step, footbrake only. I like to keep it simple and just race, it doesn't matter to me if it's a 7 second dragster or a 20 second street car..I'm in. Brian Seaberg

You know YAC, once upon a time deep staging, blinders and two steps were all legal. So some NEWBIES decide to race stock eliminator knowing full well that deep staging, blinders and two steps are permitted. Kinda reminds me of the JACKAZZES that buy homes near the Bandimere race track in Denver and then complain about the noise …

Brian, I realize that you didn`t run Waldos old B/S Mustang all that much, but are you saying that when you did race it, you removed the 2 step from that car, or at least disconnected it?

In hopes of not starting a fight and just trying to educate myself on class history, what was the reasoning for taking out deep staging?

Too time consuming.
