No lift division race

sammy pizzolato · 02-19-2013, 09:59 PM

i allways thought that drag racing is 1/4 mile not 1000ft racing.and randall i could not have explained it better.and i don't care if a racer races to the thousand ft i am going to the finish line and lift when i think i am safe.i just made a point on how to put racing back in drag racing.

It will never happen. Too much to lose.

The actual racing in eliminations is run the full 1/4 mile. What gets people upset is when racers lift at 1000 ft. during qualifying. That would not stop even with a no lift division race.

Well not everyone is 1320' even in heads up eliminations. Plenty of "gentlemen agreements" to shut them down at 1,000'. The cat and mouse games that some find exciting and fun. I think it should not be called racing at that point. The guys who don't play them game punish themselves. So you have 2 choices. Join in or challenge themselves and some would say, preserve their integrity.

I don't hate the players. I hate the game.

Kinda says it all right there............................

I do not believe that hiding performance is the main reason why racers run to 1000 and lift. The smart ones do it to secure a friendly ladder position. Those racers, more often than not, go deep rounds on Sunday. What happens on Sunday is the reason why we compete.
