Pinks All Out

I understand they had a good crowd at Route 66 this week-end an ran 8 second field. It did appear that NHRA had a good spectator crowd down the road at Norwalk also.

Let me try this. If you pick 16 cars and quickest is 6.592 seconds and number 16 is 6.679 seconds that is .087 seconds top to bottom not tenths of a second. Everybody slower that that 6.679 has to go home no matter how much you spent to get there. Which one of these cars is the car selected to win?

Two cars pre-stage and stage, both bulbs on, either both sides of the tree flashes yellow/ green (sometimes red) or a flaggman is standing in the middle of the track and drops his arms. (Pinks does use the staging lights and when the starter sees both pairs of bulbs on on a box at the base of his feet he arm drop starts the race) One car has a reaction time of .058 seconds and runs and et of 6.685 while the other car has a reaction time of .073 seconds and runs an et of 6.77. Win goes to car number one on a "holeshot". The margin of victory was .007 and guess what car number one was probably not the car everyone planned would win. And one driver got a "check", not cash, for $25,000 that no one else, at the race, could have gotten on Sunday.
