Where are the rules headed? When are some the rule makers going to allow chassis that inline with the rules? Example NA cars need to be allowed to run just about whatever chassis wise becuase they don't have N20 pills. Not sayin let them run whatever billet heads or whatever just chassis wise they need to be allowed to do whatever in the 60ft which is directly chassis related. SB N20 cars Should be allowed to do whatever chassis wise single stage anyway for sure becuase they are in the same boat power wise as BB NA. Not much more room there. And what I mean chassis wise is ofcoarse make some parts of the car be held up by the unbody or frame. No X275 pro mod chassis. No cutting the torque boxes out, no moving the mounting points. No making mounts and welding straight to the roll cage with the shocks. On the forced induciton combos less chassis should be allowed for they are making more and more power all the time. Changing the blower housings ever so slightly, changing the turbine housings ever so slightly. Turbo, blower, BB N20 combos I think we all see where this is headed if not headed off rule wise. Sooner or latter it will take 2 man teams to run a car to keep up with them. Eventually that will happen for sure in my opionion. You guys see the work that Glidden puts into his stuff? Imagine that with a stock suspension car. And don't give me that I work that hard cause that guy will chage the whole damn car around in the coarse of a single race to win. I mean tranny gearing, engine the works. I mean I do not want to see forced induction not be able to compete. But what I do see is NA stuff being pushed further and further behind along with the SB N20 stuff. JMO. I posted this to get the talk going on here. This should do it.  |

Everything in Drag Racing as u know is a balance, most rules r not perfect or fair for all combo's, unfortunately when u throw in racers at different combo's with different budget's and different ability to run their combo's, it makes it even harder to set rules for what is fair for each combo...... But i understand where u r coming from.....

Yes sir John. John please come over and say hi this year. The problem I see headed our way is boosted cars they are wicked bad no denying that? And at the rate that they are pushing the ET soon N20 SB will be non existant. And don't get me started on NA? I would like to see an outlaw class that uses chassis, tires, and combos. To keep playing feild level. Let me give an exaple of what I mean. For instance in an TT5 class all forced induction power adders should have to run a TT5 (or mickey 28 10.5 only). Then NA cars should be allowed to run 29 10.5 W. And N20 SB should be allowed to run a 29 10.5 non W? This is with weights in place. Who would go for that. I just feel it's time to put NA, SB N20 back in the game? And I mean the stock bore space stuff not 5.0 inch bore space stuff, ofcoarse factory deck heights. Who would go for it? Seems to me some of the rule makers are going to have to get more creative in the future. I do like how SGMP done the second chance race this year that was cool!!

Yea, I plan on looking u up as soon as racing starts, John No doubt I will see u.... I also love how Duck and SGMP does pretty much everything, not just 2nd chance.... Not sure who would go for it... But I totally understand... The good thing about smaller series is that if I show up with my N/A BBF Stang... i have confidence that if I am not competitive with my car at the set weight and I show them slips, this is what i've got and i'm all out on kill, Charlie, Clay, Vern, Craig or whoever will work with me to get it right.... that is a brightside, and as a racer, cooperation is all u can ask for.... Only problem from their is, its hard for me to get that light at this point... lol 2600 lbs

Hopefully Small tire world will continue to evolve for the better. I do not want to see it turn into a one or 2 power adder car class. Would like to see diversity. All rules should be set up where NA, turbo cars have a little advantage during the spring and fall then in the summer the SB N20 cars should sort of have a little advantage. When I say advantage I mean every so slightly so long as the all combinations in theory are built to 90% of it's max performance. Yes the N20 cars would have a shot to win more races BUT we all know they break more and yes I'm talking about the SB.

lol.... ok ok.... how bout we make the weight rules around N/A and work up.... Sometimes it seems the rules taylor to too BB NOS and work down..... Make sense..... I totally agree John with above ^ but its just hard to pin point what exaxtly 90% is sometimes.... Anyways, so what is a fair weights in ur opinion? If u don't care, go down the combo's and list them like u had ur own series...
