That pic that BP posted for you is pretty dang spooky, broke dad...it's good that the track made new rules. That is a beautiful dragster you have there. That made me think of something that I hadn't thought about before. Are all dragstrips the same width? I mean, is there a rule of what the track width must be? I saw a similar race in early 2003 in Super Comp at Houston Raceway Park...a Ford Probe and a blown dragster. The Probe got a big jump at the hit and went screaming way down track before the dragster's engine came up and roared away...the dragster blew past the Probe in the lights like he was standing still. The Probe went 160-something, but the dragster was going well past 215 or so. His ET was 8.900. It was a great race, the best one I ever saw in Super Comp...but I couldn't help but think, what if the slightest thing went wrong there...it would have been a heck of a mess for everybody...anyway, I took a picture of the dragster the next time I got down to the pits. It's the Pyle Brothers from Southeast Texas. Very good points all the way around in this thread, thanks for posting. Cheers, WC1
