Is it more silly than a race where you can lose by going too fast? Or 7 second cars going 10.90 on a throttle stop?
This EXACTLY! Most of the people racing cars like this are doing back-half no prep. At Us41 its from the finish line on. It's like racing in the alley. They need all the weight on the back tires from the hit. I would not personally do it but I respect the guys who are.
