I wasn't sayin it was all DHRA "great organization by the way"... But they will be enforcing it, so that why you wouldn't see me race since i'm over 91. Yes its all hearsay at the moment but i was looking at the worst case senerio i guess? Hopefully something does come outa this that is positive!

And I second the "external rollcage!"

On your board, he called for rollbars. Here, he seemed to forgot how to spell it out.

History lesson:

It was the EXISTING ProStreet Drivers and TTS, TS Performance, et al, who demanded the 10.50 index. I said it was dumb at time. But unlike them, I run per the rulebook, and don't make my own rules up in lanes. Basically Stuckey was hosing them so they wanted to catch up.

Now the exact same crowd who first wanted a 10.50 index, now want it unlimited, now scream it's unsafe, now want less rules, now want more rules for 12 second guys, etc, etc.

I never voted for the 10.50. Your "pals" are the ones who did. Safety? Rigggghhhttt...

Doesn't make you wonder what's up?
Everyone is entitled to their respective opinions, Pat.
I have mine, you have yours....I'll try to word my future posts in a manner that leaves nothing to the imagination, or specifically, your imagination.

This is what DM is going to do to his truck. When he gets to the track it folds down.

If, and I stress "IF" the NHRA or IHRA licensed tracks adopt some new rules for heavy trucks whether they be gas, diesel, hydrogen or water powered...ANY sanctioning body that runs events at those tracks will have to abide by those rules. This includes DHRA, NADM, NRHDA or whoever else may come along.

I really believe the reason for starting the various discussions on various boards was to attempt to hash out some reasonable rules within our own little corner of the racing world.
Like someone said earlier...if we don't do it ourselves...they WILL do it for us.

We cannot forget the motorcycle racers either. There are now diesel-powered motorcycles we need to "protect" also:


In appropriate picture.

show me concreate evidence that one of these thing happen down at breakaway.

1. there was cabin penetration pased the roll cage
2 roll cage was bent or showed gross signs of being too week to support said weight at said speed,
3. weight/mass equal saftey always has.... gross dramatic direction changes is what cause bodily damage.


another note
i posted this on a couple drag forums... comment like "too much engine for truck setup" imporper chassis setup, too much truck for driver... and these guys are running 9s and 10s..

most would packedup and never gone onthe track at all...


steve when are you going to do something? god you sound like some RED kool-aid that i have seen on my computor screen........ or are you pissed about not being numbero ono?????? on tuners
