Like my Father said drag racing will never be as good as it was before electronics came into the mix. I'm from Ohio remember, lol
Joe, I can remember sitting in the lounge at the Holiday Inn just up the road from the track at Atlanta about 23 years ago, on Friday night after the first day of qualifying for the points meet. Lex Dudas was sitting at the next table, and about 11 o'clock that night he said, "if it were up to me, I'd take every delay box, every throttle stop, and every air or electric shifter, put them in a pile, run them over with a bulldozer, and set them on fire". We can all dream.
