The traction kinda stunk so that leads to more engine carnage

Your thoughts? I feel bad for J.Linburgh. The team only has 1 race car Me thinks Jim Head has more than one funny car in his stash It is really to bad they didn't have a back up car at that race ready to run though

The ladder showed Courtney vs. John in the next round.

The ladder showed Courtney vs. John in the next round. That's what I was going to say. John F. crossed the center-line after the finish line so John Force won that round. Linburgh got the double wammy.

5 car bodies(6 counting Linburghs) untold numbers of parts two trips to the hospital and all in 10 runs. Force has quite a season going so far for sure.

I think I heard them say on All Access that they put a rev limiter on their engines to keep the speed down. Number one I don't think its helping with the 337 MPH they ran this weekend.And number 2 I think there are better ways to go about this. Those cars are pumping a lot of fuel on the top end.

Both FC and TF have had limiters for a few years, but the limits were different between the two classes. At the end of last year nhra changed the rules and now both classes have the same limit, 7900 rpm. FC was 7750 rpm before the rule change. http://competitionplus.com/drag-racing/n...c-class-in-2018Nhra needs to do something to slow FC cars down. Way too much engine carnage. The drivers will either end up broke or dead. Del worsham was trying out a third parachute to help stop his car in phoenix.

They also said the chutes are getting beat up bad so he added the third chute to maybe help out on this issue. The day that Jim Head quits or retires the sport is gong to take a big hit. He loves engineering and he’s the go to guy for a lot of these teams. As far as slowing down the cars NHRA is their own enemy. Carbon fiber, titanium, and magnesium parts make the good teams better and the bad teams broke.
