Well, think what you want.... But having been through a number of heart stopping runs due to different mechanical failures and driver error..... If the fans want things to consider as they are....Well they need to spend a season putting up the bucks to do it.... Our budget for two of the slow cars you refer to is over $50k a season.... So we should spend another $2K to $5K so that you will remain interested?

Nobody wants to see the cars slowed down....The rate of acceleration is incredible to witness or to feel. You seem to think some magic stopping device will appear...but until then lets just keep things as they are????

If only the 4.8 second cars are "exciting" to you, you certainly are missing out on a lot of highly technical knowledge and it's application....

As one of the drivers stated, "I'm tired of burying my friends". Maybe some magic safety device will appear eventually, but until that happens something must be done at the tracks with the short shut down areas to improve driver safety... If you can't understand this, then I must think that part of the "excitement" you go to see must be the wrecks.... If you wanted to see what is best for everyone involved in NHRA, spectator and participant, you would understand..... I have to wonder how many of your racing friends and fellow competitors you have buried......

Know, just like Papa, I'm off for stitches......
