Re: Jr Dragsters At Divisionals
I'm going to make a comment which some racers here won't like.
I spent hours looking at a monitor which displayed the timing clocks. For some reason, I got in the habit of watching the time duration from one pair to another. The super classes took - by far - the most time for any non-pro category. Lots of professional sports have seen the problem and introduced clocks of some sort. If the same thing were introduced to staging (with different standards for classes that need more time and those who don't) there would be plenty of unused time to run even a very large field of juniors. I realize that the racers have developed a process but imo because of monkey see, monkey do. A large part of their routine serves no real purpose but "the fast guys do it". And yes, even the class I spent most time in - Pro Stock. There is no need for that wheelie bar check and adjustment on the line. I'm expecting micrometers to start getting used. |

Re: Jr Dragsters At Divisionals
I was based in north Jersey starting in '76, so three out of the four NJ tracks open at that time have shut down. Many parts of the country weren't blessed with the number of tracks needed to race locally 40 times a year.
