Shawn,
I think what Jamie is wanting, is basicly a heads-up class with a 10.00 index.
There are several guys (Jamie, Ross, Yeager, myself,.....and a few others) that would prefer to run all out, instead of having to run a certain #. But,.....we don't either have the eqiupment or the $$ to do so.
Most people can't fathom what it takes (time, money, blood, sweat and tears) to make one of these tanks run 10.0's, stay together and still be competitive.
Once you dip into the 9's, the rules/regulations get more strict. Your chassis needs certified, You need a roll cage, not a roll bar. You actually have to have an NHRA/IHRA license to run that fast and lot of other little odds & ends.
I bet if you look at some of the past PRO competetors, that there has been a lot of them them didn't have everything it took to run into the 9's. In fact, I know some of them didn't.
If someone got seriously hurt, or lost his/her life due to a racer not having the proper equipment to run that quick, wouldn't be good thing.
And,.......with the accident that happened last year, I don't like the idea of lining up with a truck that's two seconds faster than me getting loose at the 1000' mark and taking out my truck,......and possibly my life.
It's just simply too much of a gap between 11.0 and infinity.
