I have a few of them, a white one, a red one, a red and white one, and a pink one.

By that you mean that Drag Racing is not about going fast? (anymore)

That is True. But you might be surprised by who some of us think that is.

For some it's about going fast when needed.

Trying for Q1 for the bye
Heads up races
class
or move on the ladder.
I don't know of any reason to go fast on redlights and byes other than bragging rights. And I am not sure who you are bragging to,
certainly not appreciated by the other guys who run the same combo as you.

We’ve seen this many times. Comp, SS and S.
Some drivers are alert and see everything… others? Not so much.

so you're telling me there's 25 cars with this combo out there? If that's the case you guys bitching about one car really can't do math worth a ****. if 25 guys go 80 under 3x that 240 passes at 80 under do you really think his runs will put you over to get horsepower, and that's not counting the runs that will be 66, 70 or 75 under. Both 396 combo's have plenty of cars who run 65 to 80 under to keep the average down. It's not like there are only 3,4 in the country doing it.

The 25 possible twins would need to be in E/SA to help Terry with the combo too..

Are you attacking the math skills of others while telling us that 25 x 3 = 240?
