I wish more people would follow this logic. I couldn't even begin to count how many times I've gotten out of the throttle during a pass...... just this year

Here is the car I was crewing on a couple weeks ago......Leaf Springs and 3490lbs!

I have seen them run. Aborted runs and crashes, only running to half track, are not uncommon at all. I can't imagine finding those cars all that impressive.

X2. It amazes me how out of touch some people within our sport are about how fast and consistent others are running on a small tire in the heads up/outlaw world.
