        I footbrake from 2500, and let it smack the converter......It does sound cool on the transbrake, but honestly, I haven't used it since last fall on a protree........with a bias tire on the back. The brake and my radials.......let's just say they don't get along.

        Only thing the Tbrake is good for anymore is sitting at a stoplight......

          Also, as an FYI...

          If you have two time slips (from an IHRA or NHRA track) in the 9s from within the last year, those can be used as your runs and they can be submitted with the crossover form for your license. I'd make sure you have the physical done. Some tracks won't sign off on the form without the physcial paperwork.

              Brian are you sure about this stuff? When I did my licensing I had to have my physical form and all runs had to be witnessed and signed off by two licensed drivers and the track manager. And it's a total of six runs. Four partials and two in the nines.
              It's still fresh in my mInd since I just did it last month.

                  We have pretty good supply of driver's with licenses who can sign the witness form. It's not clear to me how a mix of laps and different signatures at different tracks would work. I'm not an NHRA official so I won't guess on this, but the physical was a big deal when I went to Frank Hawley's last year.

                  tsanchez, you are inside the window now so just be sure to get it done by a licensed physician.

As long as you have a copy and it is signed off by three people you'll be good to go for the rest of the week....assuming it runs 9s. You can send the check and all that junk in later, but I don't see you having a problem if you get the license form signed on Sunday. I'll be helping with tech and stuff on Sunday, so if you need anything with respect to this, find me.
                    Brian, are you the Race Director now, in addition to announcing? I know they were looking for an RD earlier this year.

                    If so, I have some rules interpretation questions to ask.

                      If that's true then my car must be like grandma's aunt's car. Actually that's kinda what is, I mean really, a covertable race car, hah, prom parade car, yes.

                        Hey man...I am pretty sure about this as I have been signing off on license forms in this manner all year at New England Dragway and we got the green light on it from the NHRA Division 1 leadership. Here is the actual text from the NHRA license cross over form:

                        o Two (2) full-pass time slips in class for which you seek a license
                        within the past 12 months at any facility or event (side-by-side
                        time trials or elimination time slips accepted).

                        *** To clarify, I am operating under the assumption that TSanchez is IHRA licensed to the ET he wants to cross over to an NHRA license in. If he was starting from scratch, things are different.

                          Bill, as far as I know, I have not been "promoted". HA!

                          I may be able to help you on that stuff though and if I can't I have a good line on getting an answer for you.

                            That's what I Misunderstood. It's a crossover license.
