Default Re: Calling out B.D.D. 2.......

Well, I've been going to drag races since 1955, and I have never, EVER, seen a "HEADS-UP" race with a handicap... In fact, the two terms are contradictory.

A "HEADS UP" race is ALWAYS where two cars leave the starting line at the same time.

ALWAYS,.

Indexes and dial-ins have NEVER been a part of the "HEADS UP" vernacular...
.
If you don't know THAT, you need to pay more attention...

Ignorance of "the law" is no excuse...

Also, Bill - to "SPOT" someone ALWAYS means to give them a head start. Another term in the drag racing lexicon that seems to have been lost here.
