"Live From" Numidia Dragway LODRS D1

I have to admit it pains me to see so many dropped front ends at the finish line. That's not a slam on the racers, you play the cards you're dealt.


But not a thing that should be needed.

Ya know Dan, I'm quite sure that Dwight will come on and correct me if I'm wrong BUT, back in the "old days" of "heads-up" racing IF you went faster than the National Record by a tenth or more, weren't you the loser? I DO know that IF you went faster than the Record then you tore down and YOU were the new Record holder.
And no, I'm not asking for a friend, I'm asking because I'm old.

Some of that is true Billy - but for awhile you could go as fast as you could in the final round and win .All that plus if you exceeded that tenth you very rarely got torn down .Exciting times for sure ..........
