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.

It doesn't matter what the person in the other lane is doing if you cut a light and run your number. The problem sets in when the person in the other lane is hiding the performance of the car so that they "don't get horsepower". This way they have the advantage over another competitor in a heads up race. NHRA should be doing their homework and take the 1/8 mile ET's, MPH and adjust HP to the vehicle from that point of the track, not the 1/4 mile ET, MPH. There would be alot less 1000' racers then, they would have go to the 330' not to show their hand. Good luck on dialing in from the 330' for a 1/4 mile race.

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. |
