Interesting Commentary - why does it takes longer ....

[Mike Pearson]

Limit over the line burn outs in SC, top dragster and top sportsman to one dragster length beyond the starting line. Make it like 25 ft past the line. If they cross that line then they are eliminated or they don't get a time for they run. The door car classes can not burn past the starting line. Also no touching the car once the burnout has started. The wheelie bar adjusting is out of control. The driver should be able to start his computer from the drivers compartment. The cars should be sealed enough so that the crew does not have to fan the doors for the driver to be able to see. All of these antics take precious time
As far as reporting to the lanes. There needs to be a time limit. If you or your car are not in the lanes when the first pair in your class runs then you are eliminated. With the exception that you notify the rear of the lanes that you are thrashing to make the round. People running 2 classes need to make sure they coordinate their run time so they can be in the lanes as needed or have a crew member weigh and fuel check the car they ran first.
