I agree, that's what I'm thinking.
Running a bunch of 1/8th miles should give me a good idea how the cars runs overall in the 1/4.

Yes.. made a few 1/8th hits and then was warned .. so that was the last hit of the day. NHRA rules have to be updated..

Ive been booted off the track for running a bone stock Huracan, with a helmet and fire suit.

Ive seen more than one tech get stumped and begin to question the center locking nut AKA race nut. Could not comprehend a car not having lug bolts.

They're stuck in the past.

Definitely. NHRA is way behind the times with modern supercars. They need to adapt or THEY will be kicked out/eliminated.

BINGO. If they don't adapt and catch up fast, the NHRA will be a relic of the past.
