I heard that NHRA is giving anyone who raced when they were using the flag start ( not the same as the "arm drop" start for you younger racers ) and on Medicare an automatic .010 advantage with proof of age Fastest 300

None of them use any "helper" electronics other than the ignition system or a nitrous controler. Only 2 uses a transbrake, the other 3 are very competitive footbraking. 1968 Plymouth Fury III 4-Door: 12.79 @ 115, 60'- 1.93 (Hey... it's a Cruise ship... what do you expect?!)

Some racers would spend a lot of money for lightweight parts to, um......go faster. The advertised 1.25 lb. version is probably made with heavier, obsolete parts to keep the costs down.

And discouraged a lot of those spectators from becoming participants in the first place, or turned off existing competitors from stepping up..... Get ready for the box guys to start crying about how it was boring before electronics and how electronics made racing more interesting to watch...

I had an issue with my delay box a few years ago and didn't have a spare. I was racing for points and could not miss an event. I cut three .020 lights in a row off the bottom bulb. Anyone that makes the comment like you just did is very ignorant. Any time you want to line up I will remove my delay box and we will see who can cut a light and who can't.
