So, Brian Thompson ($6,500) beating Brad Burton ($2,000 RU) in a field of 172 cars is only 1/2 fun?

Maybe he's just a drag strip junky, but it's painfully common to see Jody Lang in the lanes for this race. He was the 2020 winner.
In other words, 1/8 mile is a different set of skills. There is close to zero room to use your reserve power to make up for a mistake on the line.



On the topic of No Prep Small Tire fiasco racing, There was a twin turbo Mustang at the last Renegade race of the season that had so much power it couldn't make a pass. Kept bumping through the lights even when they let it restage twice.



Grudge and No-Prep are like a scab on the forearm of our hobby.
