Could it be some racers make or buy more hp than their set up will handle?
Or are they running throttle stops? :~)
Adger;
The MPH discreptancy is more that the effect of tire spin.Watch A,B,C cars get alot of air and if it's known
it's a fast day look at the mph.Over bloated weigh ins is another reason.You must be having a senior moment,name me a car in S/SS using a throttle stop.Can't argue about the money part though.There are some guys with more money than brains.
