Thread: old time drag racing

Tweet

well guys attended a meeting on the amature drag racing and it appears that it will be a go.
we are starting right from the begining.
tech may know the answer to the question i am asking , my bucket has a 4 point roll bar but i dont think its faster maybe a low 13 to high 12 (WHO KNOWS)
in the nhra rules is a nhra approved cage required on all convertible cars or only on cars faster than 11.99, we were discussing this in our meeting as i need to know. as this is a amature club were all going to have to kick in cash to get it going. i dont feel like rebuilding my roll bar to adhere for the ability to run down a airstrip.
secondly has anyone out there ever come across any plans for home building 1/4 mile start and time lights.
we are looking at renting a light syst and its about 1600.00 for 1 day . i think we could come up with something.

If you're going to use a flagman and he's never been out in the middle of a drag strip I'd suggest you run a few slow stockers by him fisrt to allow him to get his feet wet. Being in the middle of a drag strip is not for the feint of heart.
