      Back in the day ("the day" being late 90's) I had a low 13 car and it was considered "quick". Todays fast cars are on another level, can't even imagine what it must be like to launch in a car that'll do sub 10!

    Awesome vlog and whip boys, bravo! Obvious that a lot of other cars had take-off and traction issues, maybe track prep issue (I know it happens). Just noticed how much driver angle you had going down the strip. Watched the 4link video earlier before commenting and noticed you decided not to fit a rear pan-hard bar. For the street, probably negligible impact, but maybe for strip with the big block torque on hand, it could help level out the rear. Just an idea. Otherwise, rock on with beast Crown - keep rippin 👍🏻

    Here is a serious question. When is the terrible practice of sitting on the line while a far slower car makes a pass going to end? Unless you are bracket racing its so dangerous and pointless .2:45 for example. If either guy loses it on the top end there is such a high closing/impact speed. No one should be permitted to sit and buold boost for 4 second and run a 9 at 150 with a 13 at 100 in the other lane. Its stupid.

    • @NBSV1
      @NBSV1 Год назад

      Depends on the event. If you’re just going for E/T then it can be better to take your time and stage first, then build boost and launch when you’re ready. Trying to really cut a light adds extra things that can mess up a run.
      But, some events have gone to setting a max time you can sit at the lights. More to keep the event moving though.

    • @craigdavies69
      @craigdavies69 Год назад +2

      I think it’s a pretty good point. Tom Bailey has a 1 second limit to leave after the light at Sick Week, I don’t think it was particularly adopted for safety but to keep races close.

    • @jasonbirch1182
      @jasonbirch1182 Год назад +3

      @@Ryan-hf9qz it wasn't a bracket race at 2:45. It would have been a hell of a collision if anything happened at the line though. And furthermore in most bracket racing there are classes that are within a second or maybe 2. My point is having 50mph closing speeds at the finish line is very foolish and unnecessary.
