Re: Alcohol dragster?
Aside from the fact large dragster slicks will bounce under heavy breaking, the frames are not stiff enough to support the type of braking power some are calling for. Look how much flex is built into the cars just for acceleration.
I'm no engineer, not even a chassis builder, but that's what I perceive is a problem with braking a 300+ MPH flexi car.
And as far as using names, it's not always politically feasible. There is a reason racer sites that call for "real names" only have such a low participation rate. Sometimes it's because you want to call out illegal modifications that are stealing from all of us, sometimes it's because of other reasons.
When I see somebody like SSDiv6 post comments which seem sound regarding safety issues, I could care less where he or she works, or when he posts for that matter. And if I were in a profession which performed back ground checks for job retention, promotions or change in employment, the last thing I would want is my name all over the internet as a blogger.
I figure if you need his name your just looking for dirt at this point.
