i've got close to 20 yrs. bracket racing (as time allows). i'm not a dedicated weekend warrior like i always wanted to be. not sure how many times I've come up against a dragster, but I only have 1 victory against them (thank goodness for that red bulb). even as i watch, they are the most consistant cars at the bracket races. in my opinion if you've got the time to get your door car dialed in, get a door car. i personally still prefer to plant my door car on the wheelie bars and let it ride, victory or not. keep in mind, i've never driven a dragster, so my opinion won't help but i just wanted to add to the thread.
