2009 Rule Changes

With this quote
"We have worked to minimize cost impact to the teams from 2009 changes, given the current economic situation," said Don Taylor, NHRA senior director-national technical operations.

and I see no major changes in TF and FC I am assuming 1,000 ft racing will continue in 2009. I am fine with this.

Yes, but it was measured at the opening (out front). It appears that the change is to measure it at the butterflies or throttle body.

It's always been measured by the plate sizes, which of course have to fit/seal at the hole. Some good mathematicians calculate the size of the shaft that can't get out of the way like the plates do, so they just make the plate and hole size larger to stay within the spec.
It's called "playing the game with intent"!!

Hi Martin! Hi Nancy! I'm Nancy's new personal graphic designer!:p
 
Disappointing but not surprising NHRA didn't have the courage to employ performance restrictions in TF and FC. I agree with many of the keyboard crewchiefs that rolling these cars back 50 mph could be done without significant cost increases.

1000 feet leaves me cold, just like watching RC drag racing.

I agree, but I'm not sure this cake is fully baked yet. This was a "preview". Let's hope it'll still change.
 
Yeah, that would be great TAD and the A Fuelers would be FASTER AND QUICKER, When better shut down areas and mainly better catch nets would elimate fatalities, sure would have at Raceway Park!!!
 
Top Dragster and Top Sportsman to be included in the 2009 rulebook...national standardization...could that be the second step in those classes becoming national event ready????
 
My guess is that they would be added to the "Rotating Class" schedule along with the Super classes, etc.
