OK to clarify Fuel cars do use timers for fuel and clutch and timing.
They do not have shift points, the timers move the bearing and as the bearing moves out it makes it sound like they are shifting.
It really is just the clutch locking up.

The chutes are not on timers.... there is a sensor on the track to make them deploy and to kill the ignition and cut off the fuel at a certain spot on the track if it is turned on, or if the blower burst panel pops it will deploy the chutes, kill the ignition and shut off the fuel


In my own opinion people leave the stands when the fuel cars are done cause that is what they have always done.

Oh look the fuel cars are in the pits lets watch them tear the motors down again..

I work on a fuel car at times and it is a lot of fun to people watch..... you see the same people over and over again after each run.

To me the real racers are the ones there at 8:00am when no one is in the stands working on their cars and ready to race in a minute......

i am talking about the sportsmen racer.... you guys are the real racers.
that is my opinion.

No matter what they change or do... the people will always leave the stands when we race.... cause that is what they always do....

You always hear the same complaint when talking about .90 or bracket racing...... It's not real drag racing if your hitting the brakes at the end. Stock and Super Stock draw more people because of the big wheelies and most of the guys in the stands like to look at cars that look like the first cars they ever had or got laid in for the first time. Sportsman are the "fill in", we will never be the main attraction and will never fill the stands, it is what it is and we will be talking about this until we are racing nucular powered cars.

It's not racing when everyone decides to shut down at 1000' so they don't get hit w/hp....lol

Re: Super Class Survey Results...
 

I would love to go top speed wide open racing, but there are too many people that have more money than me. My checkbook isn't fast enough.

Mr Bryan Gillespie I might be an idiot I do drag race, we may be a lot a like but before I make a statement as such I do think. I never said the remove of the timer would fill the stands but I think it would help. If you go to local heads up 4.70,5.30,6.00and 7.00 they have no timers and alot of spectators. As far as the stops there fine people dont even know you have one if you dont have a timer. Now if you dont like what Im saying im sorry but deep down you know im right.......Thanks for your time....CLARENCE WOODHAM
