That was a good video. what a lot of people don't understand is you take the number you ran over your dial in and add it to you reaction time to get your true number so if you ran two tenth over your dial in and your reaction time was three tenths your total in five tenths. so if your dial in was five eighty your real et was five eighty-five. so the better you cut a light and the closer you run to your dial in the harder it will be for the other guy to outrun you he must have a lower total time than you at win.

Yeah, the part many people don't understand about "Racing", is how you can go 'Too Fast' and then you lose. Because everyone thinks that a race means the fastest car wins.

This was a great video. I really enjoyed all the technicals, both mechanical and rules. Lots to absorb. The last time I ran a quarter mile was in 1967 in my 1948 Cadillac ambulance with a flat head v8 pumping out about 140 horsepower. Ran N stock and would hit the mid 23's with it. Love the sound of the Vette, next to oldies it is the best sound from my childhood.

That's a great car, a mix of old and new. I love the instrument panel with all the factory gauges even if they don't work. The weight penalty of all the trim is worth it to have such a cool old skool dragster. We have 1/4 mile racing here and I have only seen 1/8 mile once. Have fun, be safe, and win races!.

Nice, Great job you guys... My 69 Nova running that custom 427, (experimental bearings in the lower end, and on the cam, Custom pistons, I would launch in 3rd, grab 4th then finish in 5th, typical bracket car stuff, I truly want to build another car for doing this, but again the money isn't there for my game at this time... However, if things work in my favor I might be able to build another car... there is a track here in Tulsa for testing, and tuning, not sure on cost... But things may work out for me to try again... I really miss Drag Racing,
