Im just saying there should be better division points and rules to BUILD a truck to. I myself are tired of seeing the *****ing and whining. Im saying class the whiney *****es together in the 500hp small charger class and keep the big dogs with the big dogs.

Do you see what im saying outlaw? im not *****ing, hell i dont give a flying phuck as none of this even concerns me! I couldnt care less about someone crying that they got their ass spanked by 100ft or more. Im just putting my in on how to keep people WHERE they belong and that includes the small guys out of the big boy classes.

While I have had the same thoughts about making more rules to make the field interesting, the truth is they barely tech the trucks now, more rules/specs won't help.
You will have folks build legal trucks, and then have folks who cheat.

i completely agree outlaw. im just saying that there ARE some guys taking advantage of the workstock that should be somewhere else and this should help it. I do think that as our sport progresses, there will be restrictions put on the larger classes just like pro mod and other big name sports like the top fuelers and funny cars in the NHRA. It will help flush out the little guys that shouldnt be there too.

theres cheating in every sport no matter what. its all a matter of what you can get away with and how. and hopefully one of these days, teching will actually happen and be thorough but i doubt that ever happens. our sports not big enough for that. In all honesty, we need to move away from the county fair thing.

I for one would appreciate this.

Regardless my average Clipped 2.6 trucks this year are all north of 800rwhp so all this rule changing did was take 10 years off my life with all the stress, thanks.
Mark,

I'm not making 850 hp, but I can drop off my truck before I take off my Silver Bullet and let you run it for whatever tests you want. I'm going with some variant of S400 in the very near future but haven't decided what to go with and was wanting to talk to Weston first but haven't been able to reach him. Plus it'd be a good chance to see how it chokes out an S300 vs an S400 on the same truck on the same day.
