[QUOTE="gofast15, post: 16109099, member: 187747"] Absolutely not unless you are one of these big guns with 1500hp+ cars that make 2 solo passes a day . How many times have you run your car at 1/2 mile ? I have been to around 10 1/2 mile events so far , made around 200 runs .Most of the guys care about crossing the line first vs trap speed when they run against other car There are guys setting up races in pits all the time , they go out there to have fun and line up against other cars . 90% of 1/2 mile runs I made were setup races against other cars . if all you want to see is a trap speed in 1/2 mile then get a dragy and make 1 pass on the street . That's why they have 2 cars racing side by side , starting with staging lights or an arm drop .they also do a set of cons if it's a 1/2 mile roll race . it's pretty cool to see the difference between engine power band , transmission shifting speed and aerodynamics .I don't think I ever had anybody saying [ hey man you crossed the line like 3 cars ahead of me but I won the race because you had like 1 mph speed lower then me ] . I have run against 3 big turbo 4 cylinder cars out there from a 40mph roll , those cars were trapping 3-6 mph higher then me but had shitty power band and got beat pretty bad [/QUOTE]
