If the nitro was around 50%, our 1000' ets wouldn't be much quicker then the alcohol dragsters.
The fuel cost isn't a killer for us with just 1 day of qualifying.
Recertifying so much stuff every year gets costly though.
What about Parts attrition at 50pct? And the opportunity to go to 1320ft? What would 85pct nitro do to ET,s and parts attrition?
