Only things i had a problem with seem to already been adressed..

For starters..if you say that a given event is going to start at a given time, it cant start a half hour -hour earlier just because the guys at island are getting bored with test and tunes..cmon, it was 100+ degree day..cars are allowed to take a break..

Secondly in in relation to 100 degree days..since when is it acceptable to wear shorts to the track if your RACING? I can think of a half of dozen people racing in shorts while the rest of us suffered..isnt that a NHRA rule or something?

Also the tire class thing is just silly. A slick is a slick and a street tire is a street tire. My ET streets are approved by the department of transportation..but not good enough for the njfboa? I mean really the whole point of making "race tires" dot approved is so they can be run in steet tire classes..right or wrong? Speed is not a issue since there are cars on street tires that blow the doors off cars on slicks..but lets not forget..its braket racing..if a 11 second car on dot slicks beats the pants off a 16 second car on street tires but the 11 second car breaks out the slow car still wins..so again i cant see why people cant use tires for what they are designed for..

"Worlds fastest D.O.T. class race tire. Same great features as our race winning ET Drag with a D.O.T. stamp that meets the rulebook specifi cations for street tire classes. Tube type for extra sidewall strength, better air retention, and more consistent ET's.


*STATE OF THE ART CONSTRUCTION
*D.O.T. APPROVED
*WRINKLE WALL "

Finally, dont worry about all the other bull **** like cars being registered and insured or having carpet here but no there...or center consoles being removed is allowed but removing a passanger seat is a sin punishable by death...i mean really guys..there was no money on the line, and it all was braket racing..nothing was heads up..so there really is no adantage to be had against your competition..just against the clock(which if you think about it, really is your only comp.) so why shouldnt people be allowed to do what they want to do to see their best times possible? IF it becomes a setup that isnt consistant..thats their problem and they will break out, not you...
