    What is the story with NHRA's new revisions requiring protection around the cockpit of all Top Fuel Dragsters? Does anyone know the low down? Is this going to lead to a closed cockpit all together? And last, who is going to lead the way in new tire development for this season and will it affect the alcohol classes? Sorry so many questions, just very interested.

    The spectulation that is going around is that something came through the cage and struck darrell in the head which lead to his death. This is what I have read so I dont know if its true but thats what I have heard.

    enjoying the rain in the topfuel pits in Edmonton, Canada- IHRA Nats- Goodyear does not have any 1486 tires here- all the latest edition blistering type- Not sure where everyone will get the old tires for Denver???

    saw Clay Millicans set up- titanium enclosure- apparently they must be mfgd by the chassis builder. Hope it works well. Oh ya- Tim Cullinan made a geat run 4.73 I think.
