Its Official 97%

Adjusted altitude or advertised at 3000'?

Cool now we all can get back to trying to figure out our combos....

I would bet it is only the tracks that are abobe 3000' actual altitude. It that is true it just shows what a great grasp NHRA has on the fuel situation.
There are a lot of Tracks that have adjusted altitudes above 3000' in the heat! Here we go again. The only solution to the problem is to slow the a-fuel cars down. The teams with the big budgets that can do a lot of testing between now and spring will still be on top.

 

WOO HOO, Everybody dance


I can see there is going be a close out sale on a/fuel cars, cause we all know 98% almost killed em and now they will be lucky to run a 5.99.

No more sand bagging for me.

 

no comment ,

 

bs, I mean no comment.

 

It's Official 97%

Why does the NHRA continue to slap the A/Fuel teams with these rule changes to keep parody among the nitro-burners and the blown alky cars?

They had to go through the cubic inch reductions, after many teams spent the money to race with the previous rules.......then they lower the percentage of nitro.....now, here we go again, take more fuel away.

Has it ever occured to maybe lower the weight per cubic inch ratio for the blown alcohol cars, giving them more cubic inches at the same weight?? or maybe giving them more blower, or less depending on what results were achieved.

It compares to the "Scotty Cannon rule" in Pro Mod when he outran everyone, then the IHRA would reduce blower on all blown cars......well a few weeks later, after a lot of hard work, Cannon would be right back where he was, kicking more butt.

Nothing would be greater than seeing complete equality between blown alky dragsters and their A/Fuel counterparts, but its time to give the Alcohol guys what they need to step up to an A/Fuel level of performance.

And before anyone whines about cost..........think about what the A/Fuel guys must go through spending a half season or more adjusting to the new rules, only to have them changed again at the close of a season of "testing"

Blown Alcohol......same weight, bigger motors, more blower!!!

A/Fuel.....back to 100%, no fuel checks for percentage

and lets all enjoy some great side-by-side, A/Fuel vs. Blown Alcohol, teen and 5.20 racing!!!

 

Speeding the alky cars would be great El Duce. Trust me the alky owners would really prefer that. Unfortunatly it has never been NHRA's policy to speed up a class ever and this is going back to the days of Pro Comp. You can talk, beg, plead, with them till you are blue in the face and it will NEVER happen. It is just their policy is all. So when you make the crossover to the dark side. Keep this in mind. If there is a parity issue you WILL get hit eventually. This is nothing new and it will continue year after year. As much as I would love the alky cars to have the gizmo and with more overdrive. I am a realist and I will probably never see a teen for another five years if ever. Also if you seperate the classes one will die on the vine and we all know which one.

 

We'll just have to add another percent or two of potion

 

Hydrazine????

 

What's that suppose to mean?

 

whats that supposed to mean

MAYBE CHEAT ? not bill ! but Gloria ?

 

Prediction !!!!

Gloria,
I will make a prediction right now that Bill will run 5.20 to 5.24 at Gainsville.
If you don't someone else will. Wonder what the next round will bring if this comes to past? Hell I guess they just need to drop the percentage to 90 so everyone can really spend some money and start over with the tuneup.

YOU HAVE TO SHAKE IT FIRST..LOL

M.E.K ???

 

nitro $$

I am way more concerned about nhra "s choice of v/p brand nitro & why we cant save some money & buy less expensive , TORCO BRAND blown cars can run different brands of alky? not sure if that is true or not so please correct me if iam wrong. but lets keep cost down where not a pro class
so keep that rule fuel for the pro boys , last i heard v/p dosent sponser
any of our events in tad or or do they please correct me again if am wrong here , but most of the time v/p nitro is $300.00 to 350.00 higher than TORCO ,I DO SEE THAT V/P DOES SPONSER SOME CARS IN THE CLASS & I APPLAUD THEM FOR, THAT, but if blown guys had to pay as much for alky as we do for nitro , they could probably understand , espeically now that we are all EQUAL KNOW, LOL

 

Moe money Moe money Moe money

because of VP's complaints NHRA is now tracking your VP invoices. If your total runs don't jibe with the invoice, expect to be warned. They did warn select Pros before the finals. Don't know if they will warn sportsmen. Lack of competition spawns price increases in a free market economy. So you might want to work that into your budget along with the volatile diesel prices for towing.

 

Hey wait a damn minute here.....Lanny is with Marty (BAD).....how in the hell does he know about nitro additive stuff?....I have been in AFD for 6 years now and I did not know about this shit! Lanny are you saying that Bill is doing something wrong here?
