Mandatory Trigger Pull Weight - an Effective Means to Curb the ROF Problem?

[68magOwner]

exactly, they have massive rules, wich is probably why street racing is more popular. The same thing will become of paintball, more bandit balling, means a worse public image for the sport, means fewer players

Street racing didn't exist 4 years ago, except in Japan.
It's a fad here, like it was there (already fading in Japan).

But even "unrestricted" street racing has restrictions and classes, even if they are an informal handicap system.


Nitrox cars don't race non-nitrox. No point.
Slicks versus street tires.
Supercharged or not.
Evolutions don't race CRX's.
And so on.

IHRA, on the other hand, has been around for decades.
'Nuff said.

Calvin,

I agree...

You could use either a digital fishscale while shooting balls at the chrono station...



or

you use the AGD method...

WHAT?!?!! Where did you come up with that? Street racing has been around as long as cars have been on the road. People have been trying to make their vehicle faster than their friend's since the days of the Model 'T'!

I meant "Tuned Import Street Racing", because I assumed (wrongly?) that's what teenage 68magowner was referring to.

If you mean street drag racing, yeah, that's been around since the late 40's.
But that's not even a legitimate sport (and is illegal in all 50 states), so what's the point of even mentioning it?

Why not just mention auto theft instead? It's been around a long time, and auto thieves try hard to get better at it, and use the latest tools and techniques.

What about people like me with the Mech RT that can do 22bps? My RT is not modifited in any way but I can outshoot about anyone with this heavy trigger of mine .

Then RTs probably need to go, too.

Blasphemy!

Well, it would be a hard choice to make, but if you want to make the trigger pull the same across the board, they have to go

Maybe.
But if the point of the exercise is to curtail the arms/speed race, the RT is definitely suspect.

(J&C, yes I saw the smiley, but I have noticed a trend of "mech only includes RT" or "RT doesn't violate the one pull one ball rule" around here)

Cledford, agreed.
Its easy to check, and it works across the board for everyone.

I am curious to see how the arguments break down here as far as age of posters. I think I can predict the outcome though

Street drag racing started in the '40s? Nope... it's been around since the late 1900's. Like I said, it's as old as the automobile itself. Everyone has always wanted to be faster than the other guy. But you're right... it's always been illegal.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Tuned Import Street Racing". I'm not familiar with that class. Is it an SCCA thing? If you mean imports running in "Street Stock" class racing, you're still off... try 1960s, if not before.
