No lift division race
 

How about a division race or at a sportnationals were everyone pledges not to lift or brake on the top end and just run your dial balls out and the best dial wins.I wonder if something like that could ever happen or would racer even have any interest in running a race like that.Just a thought???

there is another way to get rid of the thousand foot qualifers is to make a rule that you can only run a tenth quicker then your best run on the sheet. heads up also.think about it!!!!

I have always found it amazing that some racers become upset when a competitor runs to 1000ft and lifts. Why would it matter to them and what negative affect does it have on them??

For me, the essence of drag racing (and used to be in the rule book) is an acceleration contest over a specified distance (historically defined as 1320 ft). Also many "fans" and a lot of racers sit near the top end.....sandbagging, lifting takes away some enjoyment from those who choose to sit there.....and we wonder where the fans are

I'm not sure the rule book def. is still there, as it's been years since I've looked at one; rules seem to be fluid the past few years, but that's another gripe for another day

i allways thought that drag racing is 1/4 mile not 1000ft racing.and randall i could not have explained it better.and i don't care if a racer races to the thousand ft i am going to the finish line and lift when i think i am safe.i just made a point on how to put racing back in drag racing.

Well said Sammy

That would be impossible at tracks where a lot of wind occurs and for any car not running a V8. I`ve won races where my dial in would vary .2 from one round to the next and it wasn`t from playing games.
