Question on last nights Funny Car Q2 MPH

[James]

I wouldn't worry about the big speeds in FC anymore. New rev limiter rule for the next race. 8100rpm

Does the NHRA post these changes publicly?

I would guess the new amendments will post in the next few days.

They won't go up on the dragsters and hopefully they won't change the funny cars.

And there you have it.

It will be interesting to see how much a loss of 300 rpm will actually change FC.

It will be interesting to see how much a loss of 300 rpm will actually change FC.

And how long it will take the genius crew chiefs to overcome the limitation.

How much will it affect ET?

The recent updates seem to affect Super Stock and Pro Mod.

Well Jeff White didn't care for what i sad on Wilkerson Crash and maybe i was rambling too much.
So what does NHRA really want, i agree safety is most important but maybe they're jumping the gun on this one.
HPT almost always puts on a good show, thats why racers like going there. Last Friday they had great conditions for racing and the Fuel Classes showed it. The fans were pumped up, they went home and told all there friends that they need to go see this show. What more could NHRA ask for. These conditions don't come around that often and on a track that can handle about anything you put on it. I think they should leave it alone for know and see how it plays out, of course it just an opinion and i will leave it at that.

After the first session in Epping, Capps ran a 3.86 and Beckman has top speed at 329.99. Yeah, they are just a tad slower, but the ET is still quick.

2nd session should be great!

 

[flapjack]

Yeah, the wether is nice and cool in Rhode Island with low humidity, so I imagine it is even better north of here.

A nice 330mph for Wilkerson! So they nicked them about 3-5mph? I'm good with that.
