Do you think the pending safety rules in NHRA will hurt the sport?
With the Foce team, NHRA, and all the other sponsors in the sport working on new safety rules for the drivers and cars, How much will this change the sport and current speeds. Force proved last night that the car has speed issues but how much will it hurt the overall field?
I’m fully support the new rules, just wondering how much it will effect speeds and the weight of the cars.
By all means, NO! Safety rules have been tested and changed before. It may bring the over all speed down some until something else gets looked into, tested, and changed again.
Thank you, Team Force, for doing this.
Well,they really don’t have any new rules.However-JFR has made some MODIFICATIONS to their roll cage around the driver.They are also using a modified HANS that will restrict head movement inside the cage.I understand they are going to a 7 point restraint system.NHRA has stated that they will give some leeway to Force for testing.As far as your statement that the car has speed issues–I don’t know what you mean.The car won,didn’t it? HIGHT’s car had the same MODS as John’s and Ashleys.As far as the rules hurting the sport–BE CAREFUL.YOU DON’T WANT TO SOUND LIKE A NASCAR HILLBILLIE,DO YOU???

JFR only tested some safety equipment. They were trying shake the tires so the setups they were using were actual setups they used when they had to abort runs. The car was not recreating the tire shake condition, Thats what he was talking about.
