No to delay boxes and remember in comp, there are still a lot of stick cars. Building delay devices is possible, but they won't be as good as an electronic delay box.

No to delay boxes in Comp and SS. Yes it might level the playing field a little but if you look at the guys that are winning the super classes, the list first time winner list is no longer than the list in super stock and stock. There are a lot of professional racers in the super classes too. As far as comp, it is already a performance based class, it would just make the faster cars(under the index) drivers better and almost eliminate the chance of a lower qualified car cutting a good light and beating a higher qualified car with a bad light.
As far as a .500 pro tree would only benefit a faster reacting car. I am building a super stock car and it will not have a long throw or adjustable button. It will have a transbrake and I will just try and pick a spot on the tree and go from there. Thanks

I talked with a Texas Track owner who said before delay boxes, you just got up Friday morning and wrote the check out to Edmond Richardson, because he was going to win. At least once delay boxes came in a couple other guys got a win every once in a while.

People who really understand the tree will realize Biondo or Fletcher will only get marginally better on the tree. They're already great at hitting the bulb, but they keep the car set-up in the teens or so just to try and keep the reds to a minimum. With a delay box, they'll be able to ease it on down and set up on a .010 or so. The guy who sucks at the bottom bulb, will get a lot better off the top. He might still suck as a top bulb guy, but at least he won't suck as bad as he did.

The funny thing is, NHRA posted a blog. on the website, and really no one responsed to it. This blog has already got more responses then that one. You need to voice opinions where they will be heard if they need to be, let your division director know what you think on this subject, because this topic is still really up in the air.

NHRA is allowing only people who have actually raced in comp or SS to vote on this. As a car owner I say good for NHRA.
