What, if any, impact will this have on their performance?

I think it'd be better if they changed both TA/FC and T/AD to injected fuel classes...run 98% ...better training ground for the jump to T/F and AA/FC
Does that mean that because Gary Scelzi, Cruz Pedregon, Doug Herbert, Tim Wilkerson, Tony Shumacher, Darrell Russell, Doug Foley, Mike Strasburg, Cory Mac, Mike Ashley, and Jack Beckman DIDN'T learn in A-Fuel cars that they aren't properly trained???
Before you all start screaming about the sky falling, ask Bill Reichert what % he was running when he ran the record in Houston.

Kevin,
I agree with you. This has been going on for many years, it is not an easy thing to keep the field level. Back in the day, it was the alcohol burning cars with the different weight breaks that would have to adjust from time to time, then the A-Fuel revolution has made it even tougher. I didn't mean to be flippant.

NHRA needs to get their heads screwed on right and just allow the damn Gizmo blower.

LOL..Alan...."Flippant"? No offense taken hell I don't want to pizz you off....I like you and feel you have done a bunch for the TAD/TAFC classes...I was merely pointing out my position is all....the word "Parity" will NEVER belong or exsist in any class of NHRA....Apples and Oranges....Let's chop em up and we will have fruit salad!
Sorry for being Obtuse.....oh and THANK YOU for standing behind our classes and for doing what you do....
Peace, KB

TA/FC Won't happen, they've discussed it at length, but there were some very Serious Explosions that prohibit this from moving forward.
Randy G (IMO) may know more about this than I.
As for the TAD's and A/Fuels, I'm not a dragster girl (obviously), so I have no comment at all, it wouldn't be coming from any knowledge only opinion, however, I fully support the class, either blown or fuel, and always cheer for the winner no matter how it turns out.
As for better training ground, I believe that is Your Opinion Only, which you are entitled to. However, If you can Successfully Drive an Alky Flopper, KEY WORD SUCCESSFULLY (and I would have to include a clutch Pro Mod car in that), that is one of the Best ways for training to a nitro funny car, from my understanding (and I won't share names), there are some things harder about alky than the fuel, and vice versa, the most obvious to that, is everything happens a bit faster with the GO GO Juice.
Atleast NHRA will still let them beef it up at LODRS in Denver
Nancy...no disrespect toards the drivers,but I think(yes it's my opinion) that this may help develop teams interested in the jump to the pro nitro ranks.Only my opinion....
