Another knee jerk reaction?

How does this make sense?http://http://www.nhra.com/content/news/21014.htm Just sounds like an excuse to slow them down a little to me.

30 lbs seems like a pretty good chunk of weight to me. I bet that's going to throw off some setups for a little while.

it shouldnt slow them down that much.

100 pounds of weight = one tenth of a second!

so..u do the math!

I doubt the intention was to slow anybody down, but rather, not "penalize" anybody for the additional weight of recent safety changes (or, I suppose, not require anyone to cut weight elsewhere).

I could be wrong - it would not be unprecedented.

That's what I was thinking Jim.

If they wanted to slow them down any amount the change would be much more significant than adding 30lbs.
