Default Re: .90 questions from mars....

Thanks, Both answers make sense in their own way now.

Rules was something I wondered about, not knowing them...well....wheel speed seemed like a very viable approach but I can see why it isnt, other than that rules are something Ill have to look into.

The reason I ask is there is a real good, (as in better than 50% chance) I am before the end of the week going to end up with a SG car. Why ? Well I need money...lol....to keep my personal stupidity habbits (marriage) going. So......I have an offer of cash plus a SG car for my 72 Challenger SS project......Its a nice car in trade, a very nice car, and other than a recert ready to race.....And its a Mopar

So for me and mine, personally for the rest of the season to finish out in that would be FUN, and something NEW and Just fine.

I guess I need to hook up with someone in person to setup and explain the ropes, IF I end up with it.

I heard that about the seeing whats behind you ? Who cares if you are dialed in and you KNOW youre dialed in, the opponent becomes rather arbitrary dosent it ? I mean your SINGULAR goal is to run as close to 9.90 as you can, opponent be dammed ? Right ?

delay, I ran with a friend with a setup like that and it worked fine, there are some rather well known champion racers who run like that as well. There is no limit to where and when you want to use the stop.
You see what you see because, well, even with a stop racers want
to go fast.
In a dragster, being able to see what is happening behind you
is rather tough.
