Lets see some talk about the 7 NHRA Division champs that are going to run off in Pomona. Who do you guys think is going to win? Who is all in the race (that is on here)?

Chad is going to win,Rumors say that he is riding a well prepared bike and has been taught to twich,bang his helment with his fist,shake his head 3 times,take a deep breath,bag by 3 and slam on the brakes at the big end,sit up fast as lighting strikes,take the stripe by .001,turn on the win light,smile as big as texas.Im taking the kid,cause the old man will still be using that auto shift,thats cost him a few races,give it up,good luck to both of you.

It would be an even playing field if they let the bikes split the tree,all bikes have to run a full tree.I just don't see where they think that is an even deal for all parties involved.I'm going with john gidcumb from the westside baby.He will represent div7 strong,he's alway's one of the top finishers,and he's workin on that full tree..Good Luck Jon i'll see ya there.  Aaron

Can someone in NHRA ever explain to us in Divisions 6 & 7 why we are allowed to run a split tree all year long at our races but at Pomona, where it all counts, we have to run a .500 tree? In for a penny, in for a pound! Keep the damn rules the same ALL the way through! Ray.

Sounds like D6 and D7 racers need to get their divisions  to follow the rest of the other divisions as far as tree set up.

Does D6 and D7 run on a .400 pro tree?

So where do we find a gambling site that will hold our money? I'm betting on the guy that has won over 20K bracket racing this year, with the motor he prepared in a close second. My boy Roy got beat by that blue Kaw earlier this year and will be looking for revenge.

Steven, they run a split tree... they can run a pro 400 or a full 500 tree, not separate classes, all in one. Can you see BJ trying to deal with that?

Why do ANY of the Divisions need to change when NHRA can just let us run a split tree at Pomona?!!!! Iknow you guys with sliders & delay boxes are good at what you do but how about making it like Major League Baseball where the DH is every other year in the World Series & make the tree at Pomona Pro Tree every other year?!!! Now THAT sounds like it would be fun to watch the 1 thru 5 guys try!!!! Ray.

It doesn't matter to Tom you give him the rules and he will play by them. Multi time national champion index racer. Multi time division champion bracket racer. Top, Bottom, Pro it doesn't matter. Roy is the same way. I do know the compulink system is capable of running a class with both 4 and 5 tenths pro trees. I'm not sure about switching between sportsman and pro.

We do it every week at our track.  We run the split tree to encourage more streetbikes to race the Summit ET series.  It literally is a stroke on the keyboard putting in the dial-in's.  So it's not a big deal.  All I know is I suck at both lights so it doesn't matter to me either!

I have to go with Creepy Old Man, and if somebody sneaks by him then it's going to be a big guy on a little bike.

Steve have you found a gambling site yet that will take this? Maybe we could get Scnitz to hold the money.

all i am hoping for is that the 2 people riding out there together are on opposite sides of the ladder.  let the chips fall where they may after that.  I feel good as i have a great horse to ride.
