Galot Question
 
I’m watching the live stream for the Division 2 points race and noticed
T/D & T/S cars running 200mph in 1,000 ft.

Why is it that S/SS cars are only racing 1/8 mile ??
Seems odd to me.

We have established indexes for 1/8 and 1/4 only.

Yes Jim I understand that.
My point is: If a car can go 200mph in the Top Categories why can’t s/ss cars run
A 1/4 mile ??
If theirs enough stopping distance for the 200mph cars, there should be enough room
to stop s/ss cars.

Forgot exactly how much short it is per NHRA regulations but they’ve talked about extending the track for some time in order to certify for 1/4 but end of the track is already close to a county road. TD cars are indeed crazy fast but easier to stop a light car, have no idea if they have issues stopping but the track is really smooth so guessing they don’t have to contend with bouncing on the brakes.

The county road needs a bridge. Let's start a Go Fund Me Page.

It's not an issue with the road the issue is the adjoining neighbors properly and she won't sell. A GoFundme isn't necessary either I've heard the man who owns the track has offered her 10x the value of the property but she's not having it.

Ok now I understand, nhra needs a certain amount of stopping distance to run 1/4 mile
there.
