Even running slow, 7.0x to 7.3x I have never seen an ET cutoff. Even asked class sponsor in quick once if he minded me filling field, he said no problem.

Qualified once against alcohol F/C, was fun. He got loose, stradled centerline and went back in his lane. I never even needed to lift.

I used to class race dragbikes in 70's. Always outclassed by deeper pockets. Bracket racing is much easier to be competitive and low cost relative to everythinv else.

At this age, any legit form of competition is fun. Before RV, wife would always ask "was it fun?" before asking how many roundz were won.
