Quite the opposite. I would say that no two drivers have the exact same chance of winning.

Nope!

reason why is I want them fast cars to sit on the line why i peel the tree apart and leave them nothing. If a hitter or faster car feels you left them nothing on 1 end they have a tendency to push it and screw up!!
Quit reminding me. I wish you would hit the tree someday, then you'd earn all them redlights I hand you! LOL

Phillbilly's been on both ends of this one... World Champ rookie in a slow car, killer multi-time bracket champ in a fast car. But when he's in the fast car, he's not licking his chops when the Turismo or Anthony Walton's GMC is in the other lane!

Statistically, faster cars are easier to drive, more consistent, and easier to drive the stripe with. Slow cars have some (top secret) advantages of their own, however. But realistically, the chance of a driver winning in one car is going to be different from the next, or a different driver in the same car, or the same car & driver combination in a different situation. Drag racing is nothing *but* variables. But that's what keeps it interesting.
