I'll take modern delay box, big tow truck motor, throttle stopped racing anyday.....Maintenance consists of a wash and wax between races, maybe an oil change and add fuel between rounds.....Way better than trying to change a blazing red hot burned up busted up clutch!
I can understand it from your perspective but to me that is not real drag racing. And just look at 'all' the spectators in the stands.

Need I say more?
