This topic covers exactly what WJ has been talking about in his rant at NHRA. They have mandated big $$$ modifications to the top end of the national event tracks to appease the nitro racers, while the issues of water seepage continue to plague certain tracks.

None of that fancy aircraft catch net, automatic ignition and fuel shutoff, parachute deployment, or as has been suggested here, SAFER walls, are necessary for the Pro Stock or Sportsman racers.

If they had slowed down those cars 5 years ago like Big Daddy and many others have suggested (one magneto and one fuel pump), the racing would be just as good on a quarter mile running 5.0's.
