- - my opinion (https://classracer.com/classforum/showthread.php?t=22135)

In order to steer this discussion in the direction that I think it should go,I would like to ask some of the drivers of VERY slow reacting cars a question.

What techniques would you generally use in order to "cut" a light?

I drove a U/SA wagon at Indy in 2004.

If you saw the last yellow in that car (the way it was set-up),I don't think you would be happy with the reaction time,no matter who was driving it!

Daryl, I drove a 17-18 second HF/SA for three years. It only had 20" slicks on the front, so I could leave on the bottom bulb (seeing the bottom bulb), shallow staged, and still be red. I adjusted RPM for rollout differences. I normally launched at 2200 rpm. I drove Cap't Jack's wagon a few times in 2000, I'm pretty sure I left on the bottom bulb in that car also.

Let's hear it.
I don't like to be teased, except in some erotic ways ...by a female
Are you going to post on here or the pay to post site?

We did it at NY National Speedway back in the seventies. Pro tree (actually hanging lights) 4 tenths, I still miss it. It wasn't perfect because if you were dialed just a little quicker than your opponent you could leave off their light and still not redlight, we didn't have RTs then, another evil IMO, Paul.

told you what i want to do, call the class up, if your not in the lanes on 3rd call, you put the chain up in the back of the lanes and tell the guys, "Sorry about your luck, might wake up and come up sooner next time"

Old school deal, but really its a shame you see the same darn people always dragging there feet to come to the lanes, i know if they ever run our Buckeye deal, i wont put up with it.

Don your last post is beyond a doubt the BIGGEST crock of **** that's been posted on Class Racer since it's inception.You are the biggest whiner on this site.NHRA should give you a Whiner Wally.You really have it out for the "Touring Pro Sportsmen".
Petition NHRA for a new eliminator next year,Super Stock Whiner.Good God give it a break.

Don,
Good points.
I'm sorry you feel like that about the touring pro and our unlevel playing field. With that attitude they just have put more over on you and you are beat before going to the lanes.
I get "up" for races with good racers. Try spending some time researching their stats and how the win so much, how they run races. I've had my fair share of runs with these guys. There are a couple of multi championship brothers I have Raced locally for years. How did they win so much? They were smart, worked it like a business, very serious and students of the sport. They also use the intimidation tool. They have also studied you and know more about what you tend to do than you think. Most of the good racers will run their race and let you do something to loose. I think if you get back the deep stage rule that is just one more tool the good racers can use against you. I like deepstaging. I have used it even when I was the fast car. Most racers overlook some of the real advantages of it. Go ahead and give everyone the handicapped pro tree. You might see a few more stick racers. I raced on a handicapped pro tree for years and won my first National event on one. I'm ready for it and deep staging. That won't even any playing field. The only way I see stopping the touring pro is for NHRA to take out all the financial incentives. Make it an amature series. Too late for that. So, when I run into one I'll do everthing I can to screw with their run and not be intimidated by them. Let's leave things alone and race even though it is an interesting discussion topic.

Don Kennedy,
Great job of sounding like a 'DOUCHE BAG'. You're statement is to have the most hits on an internet forum, are you for real ???????????

First of all, this is not a 'LOTTERY', run ya **** down the track to the best of YOUR ability then figure who should win, most racers do it all the time.

HOLY CRAP, does that mean ya gotta be better than the next guy, damn it, somebody needs to fix that problem because I can't win anymore!

I'm interested though, who ya reckon all those touring pro's are that are robbing you blind of those round wins?????????????? A fair count and names would be good for us to see now??? (remember, you started this) PLEASE LIST ALL OF THOSE RACERS, that are touring pro's that mess up the whole system. Can't wait to see that long list ?????

'DON SAYS' why the third person. Ya gotta have issues to do that!

DON SAYS IN HIS MIND, Your not listening to me, I just spent a whole ton of money that I shoud'nt have and I deserve a win for god's sake????????????? Do we race on paper by the qualiyfing sheet cause I could win with that ????????????????????

Holly ****, I love this stuff ! Don, you know I would say this to ya face if ya come by and explain. LOL
