JEFF!

We have had our differences on here before, but in this case I have to say..."WELL STATED!"
I could not agree on your point more...we all need to think of WHY these rules were put into being in the first place and their relevance of the NHRA model that attracted us all to this racing format in the first place!

See my postings on the thread "If Wally was not already dead, this would have killed him" for my views on this new rule.
WHAT is NHRA's RUSH to IMPOSE this???

Why must they do something mid stream part way through the year, it is not like Indy is a new race...
Why not put it up for discussion for the 2009 rule book and INDY rather than IMPOSING it on us?
The new 1000ft fuel rule, it is a safety issues and had to be implmented asap, I get that...but this?? wtf

Can there be TOO many stockers and Super Stocks at the Big GO? I think not!....
Now as for the "Super Classes" that the fans hate who try to create the illusion of a heads up race ( Blast and Bog throttle stoppers), reduce them if there is a space or time concern....These are de facto bracket bombers. The Nationals are DRAG RACE not a bracket race. No place at Indy or any national event other than a bracket nationals for these guys.

The CORE of drag racing are the PRO Clasees and the grass roots S & S/S. Period.

Cheers;

Derek
