Default Re: Part of what hurt drag racing

Goingbroke has some valid points. I ain't arguing that, but the real problem with heads up racing in a limited format is the racers are twice as smart as the tech guys. Just from my experience in spec head racing, and I only had 3 years doing it was even the dumbest team there was within .3 of the fastest. Now, that being said the great, smart, hard working teams were within .01 or .02 from each other. And I don't mean the ones who spent the most money. I did a motor with a Chevy block, 20 year old pistons, NHRA legal 750, and left holding the track record. But I would have a racer tech represented by a Ford guy, Chevy guy, and a Mopar guy. Hard to slip one by anyone when all are allowed to look., it could be done, but I doubt it ever will. And, I don't for a minute think I am the smartest guy that would enter these deals, so don't start. Lots of brains out there I haven't competed against, but would love to try.
