MHRA (My Hot Rod Association) Rules say:..all cars run 1320 feet with the following changes.

Top Fuel - Funny Car - Pro Stock

All three of these classes are canceled in their current form ..fans are bored, racing is boring, cars bear no likeness to the real cars. Auto makers see no connection.

NEW RULES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Top Fuel - Change to tire size, limited to a 12 inch slick. Make all the power you want, totally unlimited, good luck hooking up. No chassis over 260" That will slow em down. Possibly get rid of the wings and go back to smoking the tire for 1320 instead of slipping the clutch. I'd watch that.

Funny Car - Same as Top Fuel rules 125" WB but car bodies must template to an actual car. Space ship bodies are out. No bodies that work in Funny Car in stock form? Figure it out, that's racing.

Pro Stock - Bodies must template to a real car, limits on hood scoops so the cars look like production cars as originally intended, 12 inch slick max. Who knows maybe manufacturers and fans will actually see a connection with what they can buy.

Nostalgia Funny Car (includes a special sub class for Altered wheelbase cars) and Nostalgia Fuelers - In the program.

Fuel classes are given extra points for executing at least one fire burnout per event. Bonus points for using NHRA "Wallys" as hammers in the pits.

Nostalgia Pro Stock - New class, body yrs to be determined.

Injected Junior Fuelers - Injected Nostalgia Fuel Funny Car - In the program

Class for Wheelstanders

Class for Jet Cars

Super Stock - Great class, no changes.

Gassers are back AA/G - J/G

Modified Production - Its back, manual transmissions with de-stroked small blocks. Wowee Zowee.

Stock Eliminator - Its a big part of the show on Sunday.

Following classes will also be included:

Pro Mod
King of the Street
NMCA cars?
others??????

Following classes are PERMANENTLY CANCELED:

Alcohol Funny Car
Alcohol Dragster
Super Gas
Super Comp
Competition Eliminator (nobody gets it, even the racers get confused)

Nobody from California will be allowed in Sr. MHRA management.

All electronics are BANNED including throttle stops and delay boxes. Its boring and takes the driver out of the car. ELECTRONICS BAN includes being banned from all bracket races.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the basic show for MHRA, would be infinitely more entertaining for fans and racers.

Ideas? Hate it? Like it? I'd pay good money to see MHRA run.

haha someone had some free time. I can dig it though.

Competition Eliminator is a great class, don't know why anyone would want to get rid od it, each to his own

Left off Fuel Altereds they're back,injected and blown. Comp Eliminator gets canceled and cars have to find a home in one of the other MHRA classes.

i thought the wallys were ment for wheel chocks
and jack stands.

I like it especially the Top fuel,Funny car and Prostock class

I like it. CHIP

If you added a few trailers of MMA cage fighting , Strippers and cheer leaders shooting streams of whiskey into the stands it would be just like this dream I had...... And I may even watch less football in the fall and go to the strip instead.

NHRA pro classes are stinking pretty bad. I don't particularly like Top Fuel or TFFC. I am a huge pro stock fan though. I agree the NHRA needs some excitement and less corporate exposure. Good god you go to the races and can not relate to the money that is there anymore. They have lost the connection with the fans.

Sounds just like Nascar.

ABOLISH ANY AND EVERY RULE MADE AFTER 1970.

Lift this new BS with the Top-fuel. (see above)

Lift the 90% rule (or whatever it is now) in top fuel... allow as much nitro as the racer wants. (see above)

Relax tech rules to 1970 spec or earlier. Wanna run a 528inch blown alky hemi in your Pinto with no cage? Sure... sign here first.

Bring back those crazy altereds... the REAL ones...


Racing got gay when it got safe. You want safe? Play video games. You want to have some FUN... sign the waiver. Certain common-sense rules apply ov course... Dont wanna race Mr. 2000HP stock-chassis Pinto in your $100000 numbers Cuda? No prob. We'll line him up with someone else (E.J. Potter's looking for a run with his new Allison V-12 powered Smart Car...). Make it like true street racing... self-policed, dangerous, loosely governed, and so fun you're heart beats furiously for hours before and after you do it. So fun your week becomes a blur as you live weekend to weekend.

Security = death. You wanna be safe or you wanna LIVE...???

I wonder what the average age is for Super Stock driver/owner or any class in NHRA. Where are the young drivers? I bet there is a BIG difference in 2009 and 1976. They have run away many of the newbies. There are many reason why which I will not go into. Do they just not like the sportsmen? I guess thats why I sold out.

I'd take it a step further and completely abolish the christmas tree, all categories would run heads up.

Bring back Modified Production

It's in there ....

Modified Production - Its back, manual transmissions with de-stroked small blocks. Wowee Zowee.

Agreed great class, probably why NHRA killed it we were having too much fun.
