Savvy racers realized the ability to “read” each of the bulb’s cycles and change their reaction times by the “read” of the bulb. Then came the LED.

I disagree with your assessment of the slower tree as being like a participation trophy. Making it quicker would just make more cars obsolete. There are still a lot of cars in the SG category that aren't full on tube chassis cars and it's even less in the S/ST category. Maybe in SC I could agree because it's almost exclusively dragsters.

Seems to me it should never have been changed to a .370 tree for the super categories in the first place since they all have delay boxes.

Didn't ever make sense to me!
Mostly for the bikes, maybe Pro Stock I guess, the fuel classes sure as Hell didn't need it.
Why didn't they simply do it for heads up no break out classes?


TAKE IT TO THE BANK!!!!!

Has the change already been made or are we going to see some of the young guns in TF averaging .030 lights? LOL

Curtis and Steve are dead on. NHRA created the problem in the first place where there was none, in terms of the sportsman Super categories. The .400/.500 trees are standard. There was zero reason for them to artificially change them to .370/.470. Such a change is actually illegal per the NHRA Rulebook which SPECIFIES a ".4-second Pro Tree" in Super Gas and ".5-second Pro Tree" in Super Street. The reference in Super Comp was truncated to solely "Pro Tree". This was never amended to ".370-second Pro Tree" or ".470-second Pro Tree."

People complaining about NHRA actually correcting their own error for once just goes to prove that people will complain about anything. Rollout varies from track to track anyway. You have a delay box. Take half a moment and roll some in. Good grief. Roll Eyes

The writer suggests a .300 tree?

That seems like that would make a lot of cars absolete.

With no delay, how red could some of the quicker cars/drivers go on a .400 tree?
