It seems NHRA stops the show after whatever "super" category runs directly in front of us. Then, they prep and spray the track. In our experience, being first out of the gate, the car tends to spin and doesn't repeat. We hate seeing the sprayer when we're next. After one or two pair, it's back to normal. This, quite possibly, is just us, but I imagine the automatic cars don't experience this.

Just my 2 cents.

Very, Very Good Point,
