Re: How long are you on the stop?
 

I am sorry, but I was trying to use words that don,t sound right when used in a sentence. But you answered the question. A throttle stop is the bolt under the pedal. I just think the term throttle stop should be just that, the bolt under the pedal, and you should call the device that modulates the engine when you foot is against the bolt on the floor for what it really is. That way people will appreciate the type of racing so many do in the super classes, I try to call it for what it is. I have different names for this type of racing and none of them are boring. Just confused sometimes on how the car will run, or if it is actually having problems. I use the term CAT cars, don't take me wrong but it stands for computer assisted throttle. I look at the cars this way and it makes a lot more sense to me, and I appreciate them more for what people are trying to do with them. The more time you have to slow down the car at the very start of the race, the faster the MPH is at the end and you get there at the very last second to be a big surprise at the finish line. I hope to see a super gas car go 180 or 190 soon. I Think it wil be cool. I hope I get to race one.:) Oh, I just read yesterday that Jeggie is coming back to super gas with a new roadster, I thing he will be one of the faster cars, 175+.

Hello,
Has anyone here ever came across someone using a light sensor to launch the car at the tree? I have seen this device used and it works off the amber leds. It looks just like an old autometer prolight. I think I have also seen people using a signal transmitted from a crew member behind the car with a fake video camera. it picks up the amber leds just like the in car set up, but it transmits a signal to the car. Reaction times are quite consistant for the ones who would use them.
