STICK OUT YOUR TONGUE

Burk, not only are you a pretty damn funny guy...but the points you make are on the tip of sooooooo many tongues. Problem is, most of THEM are trying so hard to bite their tongue they'll never get to the meat-n-potatoes of stuff that needs doing with NHRA. GREAT WORK you do!!!! Keep 'em coming.

TECHNICALLY WONDERING

Jeff, I would love to ask the same questions I asked the NHRA. Why don't they just simply lower the rear gear ratio to a 4.11? That would quicken them up and slow them down, would it not? Also my understanding is that the nitro engines are not running on the spark plugs at 3.8 secs but are firing off the red hot exhaust valves, so how can retarding the timing help slow them down?

Just Wondering myself. Keep up the great work.

Best regards,

GETTING TECHNICAL AGAIN

I think that NHRA should take 30% of wing away. Same on the front and reduce the side thing. Even take away one element. That will slow them down and make things even. For F/C reduce the rear wing and side air dam. Open the side windows by fifty percent. And make them look like real cars not generic NASCAR. Pro Stock is getting real boring.
