I thought it was pretty cool seeing those guys back out there !

Maybe some were "powerbraking" too hard. Even bone stock converters will have a little bit of flash at start unless you cram it past the point it will still flash.

Still a wide range of ET's for those cars. Probably is very hard to launch a street car on a .400 pro tree anyway.

What puzzles me is the e.t. difference from all of those "identical" 4 door family cars.

I could understand a 5 to 8 tenths spread due to production variances and also whether or not the driver power braked the convertor all the way at the line.

But there was over a 2 second spread in e.t. between those cars.
More telling is the mph spread.

If I was one of the drivers and power braked the heck out of it at the line and the best it could run was 17's and others were running mid 14's, I would be ticked.

I saw somewhere -dragracecentral?-that NHRA ran the sportsman finals sat because of weather concerns for Sun. I for one would have been happy to finish on Sat.
As for NHRA spending any money on competitive cars for the 'LEGENDS' race, ain't never gonna happen.

What would be even better and would get me to watch would be to run them again in a few months but let them take the cars home until then and bring them back as run what you brung! LOL
