This race is pure fastest ET. Which most of the time means the guy with the most money wins. We get 2 passes per class. 1 pass in each lane.

What is the measured distance of the timed section ?
We race 160' or 200' tracks. This track was 200'. ( All tracks in the south are 200'. The yankees usually don't have enough shutdown) On a serious note you don't want to see a wreck with these trucks running over 250'. It's almost a guaranteed death trap

What top speeds do you hit ? I'm in the 90 to 93MPH on those tires. I can change to paddle tires and pickup 4 to 5 mph.
Not one truck in that video is under 1,500hp. The top 4 or 5 are more like 1,800 to 2,000+ hp.

The Open cars ( blowers which are not in my class or on that video) Run in excess of 120mph


Here's to hoping you've not suffered any major damage !

I'll know by the weekend when I pull it apart. Thanks
