Bruno explained a throttle stop and Tony explained wheelbase on a dragster - and converted inches to feet...My wife knows what a wheelbase is...

I was in the stands for the NorthWest Nationals a few years back and the guy next to me was confused as heck by the .90 classes. He needed a major education on how the cars are built for speed and driven for time with flat out starts, backed off throttles and nailed peddles at half track. Same for the handicapped classes with slower cars getting a lead on the tree. People not already familiar with drag racing come to the track with limited knowledge of the sport as a heads up game and need to be educated by NHRA as to all of the fine details that go on beyond the smoke and thunder of the nitro classes.

This is where the big Fail is, in my opinion.

I thought that was a little funny because he was showing (Anthony's I think) top dragster entry. I noticed the N20 bottle, which is not allowed in any t-stop category. Could have been a little misleading to someone thinking about learning the class...
All said and done, I enjoy watching Bruno and all sportsman air time we can get!
