OK.....How about just outlawing them ! Let them run NASCAR or PINKS ALL OUT. Take the classes completely out of the rule book if NHRA will not do anything to slow them down.

ALL of you can BITE ME.....I NEVER said to hurt or kill anyone......I woud never wish injury or death on anyone (except maybe the current Govt. administration) Just get rid of the cars (if you cn call them that) or change the rules that are causing this mayham. Some have more money that brains, skill and talent to run one of these rocket ships. Its an ego thing. All of you on here seem to read put words into a post that are not intended or in print. If NHRA cannot and will not slow this junk down with rule changes they do not need to be on the track. Get rid of the class if they cannot be made safer. John Force took it up on his own dollar to make the FUEL funny cars safer. These people will not. YOU the sportsman racers are paying for NHRA's mistakes and lack luster look at better saety rules and inspection. Why is it that the Alcohol cars are losing their brakes and having chutes rip off on a run and the Fuel cars are not? Racers are complacent....they will run even though their car or track may be unsafe just to get that last pass in. They put the run ahead of their own safety and you know it as well as I do even if you wont admit it. A lot of todays tracks are OLD, way to short for todays speeds and not well taken care of. Look what happened to Woodro in Florida. You can and are your own worst enemy when it comes to safety. At least the Pro Stock racers have the balls to tell NHRA NO I wont run on that junk track. So quit putting words into my post that are not there and check your own equipment. Look in the mirror and see if your program is up to par. It seems that a lot of these wanna be fuel cars are not.

X-Tech, how about you just go away. You never have a positive comment and your last one takes the cake. If you hate the current state of NHRA racing then don't be a part of it and quit commenting. There are plenty of racers who enjoy doing what we do. Even if your comment was in jest it was poor timing and with very bad taste. What are you really proving with all this negativity? We get it, you don't care for NHRA racing. Get over it and move on with your life.

Is it me or did it look like the Catch Net was wound tighter then a rubber band? I was at Maple Grove all weekend and didn't hear about it till I got home from a friend who works on a A/Fuel Team. When I finally got a chance to watch the video yesterday I was like wow he was going about 100mph and didn't look that bad (But I think we all said that about Earnhardt's Death also). Too me it just seems like they are using the same technology they used in 1970-80 to stop cars. Back then cars had no give and stayed in 1 piece when they went through a net but, now cars are going 100mph faster and they are made to break apart to release some of the energy in a crash. Someone needs to step up and find a new solutions to stopping cars before someone else dies. I mean in a little more then 2 1/4 years there has been 4 deaths at NHRA Drag Races (3 from top-end failures and 1 spectator). I mean the only time people come up too talk to me at work who know I drag race and have never watched a dragrace but all I hear is "Hey I heard another guy died at the dragstrip"....It's like seriously that's not what racing is all about!!!

Hey I'm not going to condone what Terry said but he has done quite a service for our sport that I'm sure none of you "Johnny come latelys" will ever consider doing. Not to mention his service for our Country that gives you hacks the right to come on here and trash him.
Hey X-tech man please don't go away. Billy Nees
