    There are a few things that don't quite add up in that video.

    He's not racing against anyone, so where did the 14.XX come from in the other lane.

    The dial-in on his window says 12.30.

    He crossed the centerline well before any finish line, so how did he end up with a 10.76 time on the boards.

    Too bad he crashed, but like someone else said, that car never should have been on asphalt let alone a drag strip.

    I'm assuming those times are from a previous race.

    where do you "draw the line?"

     



    where do you guys draw the line? so to speak, at what point in time do you opt for 5-6 pointers instead of lap belts, when do you opt for a helmet gloves suit etc?

    6 point

     



    I think 11.99 and quicker in my day. The pos was only dialed in a 12.30. It
    didn't look safe enough to drive any speed. Somebody mentioned Freemont
    DragStrip. I don't rember it looking like that.

    6 pt and harness

     



    My mistake, definetly Freemont. Fat Jack's 46 Ford flipped there at the
    NDRA Drags right about where that 55 landed. The 46 was higher than the
    mph/et sign. The driver Al Ventura wasn't hurt. It met all safety specs though.
