well this is a raging topic heading across the entire country as of now..drag rules ?? who makes them ?? how well are they followed ?? whats done to those who are caught cheating ?? and the list goes on and on,doesnt it..

but here i would like to focus on a particular issue and thats about running the NOS cars up against the NON-NOS cars..is this fair ?? if yes then how ?? if no then what should or rather can be done ??

here is my take on this..

at the just concluded drag at bangalore as u all know v1p3r took my car onto the track..well almost all cars if not all even in the zen class were running on NOS..and there were a few cars most from the SAG racing team which ran N.A ..so to say the other cars did have an instant advantage would hold good i suppose..why ?? just because they could afford that extra dough to get a NOS kit..isnt NOS a kind of forced induction as such if u look at it practically ??

where can or should people go who cant afford NOS but are somehow able to manage a few good mods on the engine ?? should they be allowed to sit at home and feel incompetant ?? is that the way we plan to popularize motorsports in india ??
is that the way we expect talent to come from this country to enable us to participate at the pinnacle of motorsport events internationally..

does a NOS install give the tuner the necessary credit to the work he carries out on the engine ?? how are we to guage the tuners work then as in how competant is he with his head work,exhaust system et all ..

there are a few who think drag racing is only for the rich and it has no place for uncles/ kids to come out with their stock cars/ modified cars (but no nos) to participate..is this attitude right ?? shouldnt everyone who wish to take part be given an oppurtunity to race ??

will running a multiplication factor for NOS cars just like we have for turbos work ??
or is it better to run two separate classes called street (only engine mods allowed,no forced induction) and prostreet (cars with FI) ..wouldnt that even out the parity ??

isnt this the way drags are held all over the globe ?? then why not in india ??
will we ever see a level playing field ??

im putting up a poll here..would love to see what my fellowmates think of this issue..so pls roll out ur votes and explain ur choices as it would give us a better understanding of the subject ..

ps : forced induction includes NOS,turbochargers,superchargers etc..
