When your in a race you don't know if your breaking out or running over, it happens fast and you have to think fast and make decisions in a split second. Sometimes your right and sometimes your not. I know I've never had two rounds of racing that were the same. You never know whats going to happen and you usually don't know for sure until you get the time slip.

Next race you go to sit at the finish line for a few rounds and watch the drivers demonstrate their finishline driving skills, you'll find it very interesting.

Thanks for watching us, we need more fans!

I understand the driving skills required at the top end. And I didn't mean to imply that everyone should get a perfect light, it was just that there were so many of these at this event, that maybe there was something wrong on the starting line for the red lights. I know it takes a lot skill to get a perfect light and just being close is just as hard. The break out was to see if there is a way you just race all out and maybe NHRA makes adjustments in the times?
Don't get me wrong, I love watching and taking pictures of you guys and that is not going to change, so keep the wheels up.
