Re: Norwalk SG DQ
 

I will think seriously about putting in a hand brake that is functions on the rear wheels this winter. Use a 3/4 inch master cylinder, and make it so that you can't lock up the rear brakes, and see what happens. Might be fun, and then use some timers to help me know when. Heck, I not doing any good any way. I would probably use it in practice runs to see how well it works. I don't think the racers that brake, practice enough. They only do it in eliminations. I tried using the parachute, but it was to slow. Of course the brake lights won't be hooked up to the brake lights. Hmmm

So this is where the rabble hangs out!

Dan I agree with you 100%. Make smoke, hit the gate. I have never stabbed brakes at the finish, hmmm maybe thats why I suck at this? I remember the Belle Rose pictures from a couple years back. The racer in question was concerned because the chatter on the web about the whole deal looked bad for his sponsors. I understand that. But the pictures don't lie.

I saw a SC dragster go barrel rolling over the wall in Reynolds a few years ago. He was about the 3rd pair out Sunday morning. The car broke up like a fuel crash you see on TV. He lived, but it was very sobering to see.
If hurting yourself isn't a concern to you, what about your friend/ fellow racer in the other lane? I don't want stupid on my part to result in my fellow racer being hurt...or worse. But hey, that's just me.


And Bart, you should be DQ'd on general principles...I'll come up with a reason later.LOL

RIP
