I like things the way they are. I think in stead of artificially slowing down the faster cars, maybe tighten the regs in them a bit.. If you car runs sub 11.20 you must run factory size tire, no plus one size rule. Or maybe tighten the carberation,having to run a factory correct carb. Or make stock size exhaust mandatory.
With this kind of thinking no slowing down by rule will be needed..
Just a newbies thoughts

I think that input from Bill D, our Queen and some of the newer racers like the Bonneville owner is important. Bill D started racing the previous season with a pure stock car, is having fun and is slowly, with conservative spending, making the car quicker. I think that a lot of new racers follow that path once they attend multiple events.
Our Queen started racing a few seasons ago starting with a slow car and got bit by the low ET bug, determined that she wanted go faster and put together a very competitive car. Some racers follow this path.
When I was racing my stock 383 powered (Green) '68 Sport Fury and running low 16's and high 15's it was great at one event and I had a lot fun when Frank & I kept lining up as our ET's were close. At other events, being the slowest car by far is not as much fun. However, if you are a new racer that is racing a slower car and want to make sure you are racing against someone with a similar ET, new racers can bring a friend. Just 2 more cents from me.
