Byron becoming NHRA certified.....

[KAR]

Heard from another friend that knows the owners and it's confirmed they became nhra certified. Guess it's a good thing I planned on getting full leathers this year and taking care of other safety things.

This would suck. I don't think I'd be able to run the Mustang as is

I hope I can still use my snowmobile helmet.

I don't think half the people here will be able to run but we'll see how strict they are.

Not a rumor. Talked to bj for 40 min yesterday about it. Makes sense for the track. Should be a good thing for them. Should pull some rt66 guys and show them how a track should be run.

If true it will be interesting to see how it changes.

I hope Mr. Tech Rock is not out of a job.

Will be devastation to him. His wife does not work as she has her hands full taking care of their 320197 kids that are too young to work as gravel yet. And he is of that age where he will have a hard time finding some one to hire him. Not to many jobs for untrained rocks anymore. I wish him the best.

That is nothing. hahaha

Damn guess I'm sticking to 41 this year

 

[Mook]

Wow.. if they start to enforce tech, this is gonna screw over a ton of people on here

 

[blakbearddelite]

What exactly is the pro side of this for Byron? There will be less cash for them to count because they're alienating a good amount of racers?

 

[utryd2]

Or everyone will have to get really good brakes to slam on em at the end of the track.

Possibly even you

Being able to host nhra races? That'll fill seats....

 

[blakbearddelite]

At least I'll still be able to run the other car. And that is the one I'm more curious about now anyway.

On the contrary. It'll bring more cars because they'll host actual NHRA events. Being sanctioned by an official body will probably also help them fight the locals that you might remember trying to shut them down last year.

It's inevitable really. Probably time to sack up fellaz.

I would bet they would take the avenue GLD did with tech. Instead of turning racers away they "educated" them as to what they needed. I heard people running all year there with out the proper safety equipment. Their attendance is already down. They do not want to chase anyone off. I am sure things like points races and such are what they hope to get more attendance with.

There may be things like cheaper insurance that are also attractive to them.

It is to early to freak out. I would hang and see how things play out. If you run a ET you should think of getting legal anyways.
