It's not the best facility... We decided two years ago that we would never go back there! Glad you kept it shiny side up!

Could be, I haven't paid attention to who's running in that class.

To no ones surprise, the slowest car in the field wins T/D in Atlanta.

Not taking anything away from Jeff Strickland, he earned the win.

Just making a point about the track conditions.................................

Nitrous, NA, Turbo, Blower, 4-link, hardtail, it doesn't matter to me what method one chooses to run fast. I just wish it was a 6.00-6.99 requirement to qualify and to dial-in. I know that won't happen and I understand why it won't.

Before anyone says anything, it was my choice to spend the $$$ to run in the sixes-no one held a gun to my head. I could have kept my bracket dragster, run low-mid sevens and been very competitive. But like to many others in this class, it's more fun and more of a challenge to run quicker even though it is harder to make a car run consistently while running in the sixes and you are more at the mercy of track conditions.

To me it's called Top Dragster for a reason. It's not called you might as well bring your S/C car because I know it will qualify and have an excellent chance of winning.

Different strokes for different folks....................................
