Really?? First time I've heard or read this. The only National Dragster I have on hand right now has E-Town sportsman coverage. I averaged the Comp, SS and Stock elimination round reaction times. Comp had 8 red lights, average reaction time was .0675. (Wonder why Fletch and Biondo do so well there.) SS had 4 red, average reaction time was .0335, Stock had 3 red, average was .0448. The .90 classes, of course, killed us all. Should with all the crap they have on those cars. I can't see why foot brakers would have any advantage, from what I have seen S & SS are normally pretty close in that dept.
