National Open at Top End Dragways

Tim Lisson · 12-12-2011, 10:14 PM

Great news for Sabin! I attended the track for the first time this summer and it was fun, good people running the track from owner to staging lanes. It's a long haul for me but I will go.

Hey Mr. Demarais, is that car of yours going to fast you wanna race 1/8th mile? Even if you bracket race it's still 1/4 mile... It's only December guys so let's think positive..

As you stated, the way NHRA is and can be, just another good reason to support local combo's and this open at Top End.

Ron, you must be talking about BIR's last race. I'm not sure if the track would have been dangerous running the full 1/4? I doubt it as I have ran in much cooler conditions then that. It was fun and something I haven't done in 8-9 years but prefer running the 1/4 as well.

You guys be safe and I will see you in the spring.

Tim

Tim, when your as old as I am , the extra 4 sec you use up going down the track seems to me a huge waste of time car parts and is much more expensive for the track preparation. Plus you could run the event faster. All you do the last 1/8 mile is look around trying to find your opponent so you can wait till the last moment and slam on the brakes. I personally would like to try 1/8 mile so whether it be December or April I probably will not change my mind on what I would like to do. Who gives a rats a-- on what I think about it anyway!!

Tim, yep thats what I was getting at was the last BIR race. What I didnt care for was being ripped on the PA before the race. They would not have had to do that. You know me, got a little upset over that. As I said done with that crap. Ron
