I"m confused .

The nose on my dragster is 2.75 high. If what you guys are sayingis correct I am tripping the beams at the starting line with the front tires and tripping the finish line beam with the nose. This would make a huge difference on how much stripe I am taking depending on whether I am running a door carthat is tripping the finish line with the tires or another dragster that is tripping with the nose.
