How many races are won it that last 660 in high gear just driving???I think 90 % of races are won at the starting line,aren't they?????1/8th mile has a starting line.




Far from 90% are. But your making the assumption( wrongly) that everybody cares about sawing down the tree.
Tons of people go to the track to chase ET, or just see what the car they have runs. Not everyone is a dedicated bracket racer.
Heck, probably the two most important " new" developments in drag racing..... Grudge racing nights, and heads up radial stuff, the tree is nowhere near as important as getting down the track and getting your power down. Having 2 or 3 hundreds on the tree don't mean squat.

One of the reasons I am beginning to hate top fuel and funny car on the 1000 foot is it becomes more about money that being a true tuner and keeping the candles lit the whole 1320.
