Question about dragsters

70ss396camaro · 11-06-2011, 02:16 PM

Hopefully I'm in the right forum,if not sorry.Anyway ,I was in Vegas last weekend at the nhra nationals,and it was loud and I couldn't hear what class it was ,but they were running in the 9's.
Dragster 's launching hard , then what looked like coasting till about the 330' line and hammering it again.I have seen this before but never asked.Can someone give me a quick explanation?Thanks. Paul
