Thread: Things That Ruined Drag Racing!

I know it's been a while since I posted this thread, but I wanted to point out that I was speaking on behalf of the spectator.....not the racer.

Thnigs that made it harder for the spectator to understand.....like the faster car getting there first, but losing.....and things that made the show less entertaining......like fewer wheelstands, cars running perfectly straight down the track, no tire smoke, not being able to distinguish you favorite brand of car, and so on.

I can certainly understand the need to be able to race inexpensively, and the skill it takes to compete in brackets. I have a customer I have known for 30 years, that is a many-time champ in this type of racing. But to the guy in the stands, "heads up" racing and beautiful, but violent, hard-to-control racecars will always be best!
