Thread: Convention Dates Are Official

You still are not understanding.

In any type of index or bracket class, I can sit at the line after the lights come down and still win even after the other person crosses the line.

Timing does not start until I leave, regardless of when the other person leaves.

Again, ET is the only thing that matters with what we are discussing here.

Both of you don't understand.

Jamie, you're talking about bracket racing. Shortest elapsed time wins. (Index racing is a completely different matter, but is like you said, ET-based).

unijab is talking about heads-up (the most common form in the popular conscience) and handicapped drag racing which is based on who crosses the line first. Shortest ET in heads-up can lose the race because of poor reaction time. I can't imagine I'm tell you something you don't know though.

Cool the jets. =]

LOL No.

That is not bracket racing.

Bracket racing is a dialed in time by the DRIVER and the person to get closest to the dialed time wins.

Index's are the same thing but a specified dial in by the track for classes (10.5, 11.5, 13.99 and slower)

No one on this side of the US races heads up at the drag strip unless its on the street.

Only Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, Pro Stock Motorcycle, Top Alcohol Dragster, and Top Alcohol Funny Car race heads-up.

For example:

If I dial in a 11.0 and run a 10.99, I lose.

Even if you dial in a 11.0 and run a 15.2

let's not forget now, there is the other type of classing that the strip in Ohio uses, and its the one where I take home the trophy...





The important question is whether or not Nelson Ledges is going to kick me off for being too loud at ~9500rpm like AMP did

It doesn't matter if it is heads up, bracket, index, on foot, etc... I'll give Bes and Jaime pastelitos....

Dont even think for a minute that the turbo guys cant get off the line. All in the setup and dialing in the ems. Over my dead body will i let an na car take home quickest/fastest et. Just bring your a game thats all i ask.

So we can agree there is no class where shortest ET necessarily gives you the win?

Except the East Coast FWD class I guess. =D

Smh...
