You don’t have to give up front half data if you do it right. You already know he can’t come close to his required dial. | |||

Minimum dial in box class is 4.30 I believe in 1/8 and 7.49 maximum if I am thinking correctly so that’s a hell of a spot mph wise. We do have a guy dialing 4.3x regularly so it’s not just a theoretical statement. | |||

Around here most of the tracks run NHRA rules and the Sportsman class is run 1/4 mile 12.00 and slower, I don't know of any maximum limit. Back in the day there were many cars like VW Bugs that ran over 20 seconds. | |||

Seriously? Have you ever watched dragsters race? LOL
I had a guy sideways in my lane in front of me, going 150 to my 70 mph. There's a motorcycle guy in the hospital right now after an on-track incident with a doorcar.

So make a poll: What is slower, a dragster doing an over the line burnout and backing-up to make their pass, or a 20 second slug doing no burnout and going slowly down the track........ Who would be in worse shape: The driver in the mini van with no safety gear on, probably not even a helmet, or the guy in the dragster that lost a slick and went under the back of the minivan at 180? I feel safe in my car should something fast hit me, and for the most part since I race No-Box, I am only 10 to 20 mph slower than the fastest cars in my class. | |||

I didn't say *YOU* were slow. I've watched events that averaged 70 sec per pair on the day.
Yes, Juniors usually take a long time to run. All of the above bolsters my argument that it is ridiculous to complain about the time it takes to run a handful of slow cars. __ Michael Beard - staginglight@gmail.com Staging Light Graphic Design, Printing & Event Marketing | |||

Understood, 70 seconds per pair is a long time IMO. | |||

Minivan vs. dragster, I think the dragster would actually fare better. Dragster vs. 3/4 ton Suburban with a heavy duty step bumper, I think I'd rather be in the Suburban. Take care. Tom Worthington If it seems that bracket racing has gotten too expensive for you, maybe you are just doing it wrong. | |||
