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.

Sorry buddy...didn't mean to hurt your feelings. My name is Scotty Rienschield...I'm a beginner and still getting the hang of this drag racing stuff, but I still knew how ridiculously childish your statement was.

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.
