I really can't say I can prove one way or another if traction control is illegally being used in drag racing. I've seen no documented infractions nor seen any of it. I can't say that my position would be assuming that cheating is going on. I also don't know that it isn't.

Didn't seem to be much of a problem for the Blue Truck.

This is just spring weather for you Texans though. LOL

Glue shortage - who will cry if a guy gets close to the center line? When a guy uses up his lane.

The Libtards will - we know now who they are.

He11 when I bracket raced in late 80's early 90.Only track prep was drag tracor tires down track and send them.

I do not see this as a problem for true race car tuners. SO you have to tune your car to track and adjust according to changes. I think it will be great.

One of the stupidest posts I've seen in a while! Ya back then you had cars going so much slower with a fraction of the HP that is now available, it worked. You can talk about traction control all you want the street outlaw cars but you just can't flip a switch and keep racing safe! But you don't race so it's easy for you to pound away at your key board and click of "POST NOW"!

Carry on Super Tuner.

1996 - If you use up the lane and turn on a win light, you were a BMF driver.

2017 - If you use up the lane and turn on a win light, you're a dirty driver.

Yep the Libtards have taken over.

At least now we know who the Libtards are, no matter how much they pretend otherwise.

Never mentioned traction control. I said tuning car. I guess if all you are after is unload car and run down dragstrip and never change anything it would be foreign concept to have to adjust to track conditions.

Would seem that with MSD grid,four links and shock that most would be able to adjust to about any track, but that would be like working on the car and we know that is not allowed.

Yep cars had less power back when no prep was normal deal. Cars also ran high 4 second run and very few if any mid 4's. Then tires were not as good, dragster did not have suspensions and no timing controller to speak of. Nost of those racing built their stuff and a few bought new assembled motors and transmissions. Then they had bracket race going on somewhere and you could run 2 or 3 tracks weekend and race every weekend. Everything changes and some times you have to change with them.

Who said racing is suppose to be safe? If not for a little danger there would be no fun in it. Now racing on track where every other car is headed to wall of centerline is asking to destroy a nice race car.

Without danger there is no courage.

Who will cry when someone uses up the lane and gets close to the center line?

We already have the answer... The Libtards

They will cry dirty driver as an excuse, in the event they lose.

You can get as far out of groove and as close to center line as you want. Once you cross over line, hit a wall or a Cone you lose. What part of that do you not understand? It really is simple even for stupid people. Even Ediot knows that.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

No you can't, according to the Libtards at Bradenton, you're a dirty driver if you use up the lane in order to win.

They'll even invent fantasy stories, photo's at the stripe show as impossible.

Then run away from clarifying why they put the loser back in the race forty five minutes after he loaded up, originally declared loser by track officials.

In 2017 the Libtards took over drag racing establishing liberal ideas, saying if you use up the lane in order to win, you're a dirty driver deserving of your on track effort being cancelled by way of track officials invented, made up out of thin air, fantasy stories if necessary.

We all know who the libtards are now, no matter how much they deny it.

We know who cry's when a racer gets close to the center line, Libtards.

Clown World is the real pandemic.

Birds of a feather flock together, and looters instinctively hold doors for each other.

What's new maggot?

Everyone should understand by now, liberals do whatever they want, as long as they are the officials.

Because we let them get away with it.

Reason is the biggest threat to Libtard power structures.

Libtards can't answer to reason.

You still crying about it after all these years but like it or not you learned a lesson you have not been hitting cones since have you?

What has it been 15-20? years and you still crying about it? At some point you are going to have to accept facts and move on. Nobody, absolutely nobody cares about you hitting the cones. We have all moved on with our lives and are really doing quite well Thank you.

The rules are simple. Hit a wall, cones or cross center line before end of track you are out. They had that rule long before you hit the cone. They did not just make that rule that night just to punish you. You simply just are not that important. The World does not revolve around you or Ediot.

Do not like it then do not hit the cones Great White Cone Hunter.

It's been 5 years clown, and no one hit the cone clown.

There was two calls, the original call which is self evident, the Nova is the winner.

The second call 45 minutes later to put the loser back in the race said the right front tire of the nova plowed the block. We can see that was an invented story because the finish line block is sitting on the finish line unmoved behind the cars... clown.

That's why Bradenton can't clarify on putting the wagon back in the race, because the reason they used was invented / make believe.... clown.

Make believe clowns - Libtards.

Clown world is the real pandemic.
