Believe me guys, I know how to slow my car down, I've been doing it for years and I'm doing it now. I just choose to NOT want to slow my car down anymore than I am. Why they have to move the index when all they have to do is enforce what they have is beyond me, but whatever. It just made my life easier. And don't laugh, Curtis is probably right. If NHRA is afraid of us going 6.0 they are definitely going to be afraid when they see guys going 6.10 at over 245 MPH. Man was not built to fly ...

last I checked, T/D isn't an "index" class. It's a fast bracket class with a minimum ET of 6.10. If you are trying to run on a 6.00 index, you're doing it wrong. That's AA/FA Bill Huntington GZMOTORSPORTS.com gzmotorsports.com/video/PRI2010.wmv | |||

Look at div 3 and see how close to 6.00 to 6.10 the top 10-15 were this year. | |||

I’m with Frank on this one. Just enforce the rule as it was,why sugar coat it now by moving the minimum up to 6.10. If they would of enforced it it would of self regulated itself. | |||

I agree with Frank and Moe, but I think it's probably an insurance issue whereas the insurance underwriter won't cover NHRA for a car going under 6.00 that isn't certified to do so. 272" Spitzer 540 Chevy The Blower Shop XR1 FTI XPM Series Converter FTI Level 6 Powerglide 3.69@199 .916 60' 2017 Bradenton Heads Up Madness Open Outlaw Champ 2018 PDRA T/D #5 2019 PDRA T/D #2 2020 Retired From T/D Competition.... 2020 Bradenton NMCA Hemi Shootout Winner 2021 getting back into bracket racing with a Gen3 Hemi powered 87 Cutlass. | |||

I think that is probably a pretty safe assumption. Let's face it....you gotta draw the line somewhere. And you really need to have a buffer between that line and where the breakout is. I don't think it would be better to eliminate the lower limit, and then require everyone in the class to certify for TAD and use all the TAD safety equipment. That would kill it. And having the lower dial and the dq the same is just asking for issues. It doesn't happen often. But here, I think they got it right. Again, they won't be able to please everyone.

No reason to change the Pdra index. Pdra is its own organization and can do what it wants. Follows nhra rules except min dial is 3. Xx. My opinion is they should lower the index to 3.50- 3.60 for those guys interested in running that fast. If we gained a car or two it's all for the better. There are a few old alcohol car in every region of the country that might say hey let's go have some fun because it's the only thing we can race now. | |||

I have not posted in this because it is above my pay grade but I really think Bucky nailed it. And yes I think NHRA is doing it because of insurance reasons. With that said I am watching this thread as I would like to know what those who do run the class think about it. Their opinion is what matters most here. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/ "Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge. Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue. 4X NE2 CHAMPION. 2020 TDRA NE2 Champion | |||

Exactly so why rant about it. The decision has been made and it is a done deal. If you want to play in the NHRA TD sandbox then you cant go quicker that 6.10 anymore. | |||

Besides, by moving the index, err maximum ET, up a 10th it's just that much sooner TD will become the Worlds most expensive Super class at 6.10 instead of 6.00 . Dave F J B | |||

| DRR Pro |
that matches up with the worlds most expensive bracket class ... | |||

You know they are going to throw a MPH rule in quickly. The 6.00 cert is irrelevant because you can run 6.00 at 195mph and also at 250. Remember, the A/FC and A/D were running right at that the last 5-8 years. most of the A/D run in the 260-high 270 range now but it was only a few years ago that a 260 pass was a great mph pass. Impact doesn't care what the ET is, it is about the g-force at impact which is directly relative to MPH. Keeping the Socialists and NEO-LIBERALS at bay with FACTS one post at a time !!!
