I think traction control should be legal. They allow timers, throttle control,. That is, if you want some changes in the rules, also get rid of courtesy staging. No blue light special, which means you can let the top bulb go out and not go red. Also after both drivers are prestaged, you have 5 seconds to stage or you go red. I really don't want to change the rules, but if they do, this is what I want. The five second rule after prestage is for staging games. Let's race. Steve Williams S/G 351N. Let the timers and throttle controlled stay, but the starting line is where it should be changed.

There is no question the racing is tight... Last 2 races (D1) I've been on the loosing end of .001 mov. It's tough to take when a .020 8.909 puts you on the trailer 1st round.
I know it will never happen but If there was a way to do away with people holding numbers.... Couple years ago setting up for a .88 was the norm, today guys setting up at .84/.80....... I say Set them up honest and let them fly!!!!! I guess the only way would be to put a limit on MPH variation from qualifying, like pinks use to do. I also think they should do away with the coin toss for lane choice, make qualifying count for something. Either higher qualified car gets lane choice or higher of last round. |

personally I think lowering the index on all 3 classes a full second would help the classes. Most all can run that fast now. Might make things a little more attractive to the couple of fans that are in the stands. I have no dog in the fight so this is just my impression.

All the super classes are getting this way. What I think would be fun and put some back into the drivers hands is to change the index every round. For example let first round be a X.90, then the winners would get the new index for next round on their time slip. Lets say next round is X.83 and this could go on and vary 2 tenths from slow to fast for the entire duration of the event. This not only puts it in the drivers hand but also the tuners hand as well. Too many people have found the .90 number and do not change the stop numbers.
Just my thoughts |

I can guarantee it's not as easy as finding the .90 number and leaving it. Lol |
