Mike Kloeber, crew chief for the Clay Millican-driven Knoll Gas Top Fuel
dragster, says “we’re just trying to get this car to run a little better. Our
biggest issue is still safety,” he said. “There needs to be an expansion of
mandatory rules in the safety area.” Kloeber believes a complete study of the
fuel classes should be undertaken to determine what’s needed to keep the drivers
safe in the event of an on-track incident.

In regards to possibly slowing the car down a bit, Kloeber believes a two-pronged movement should be contemplated, including further reducing the percentage of nitromethane permitted while coupling that with a reduction in allowable supercharger overdrive.
