Thanks guys. It was nerve wracking. They built it up all day long with a lot of shi talk. We kept our mouths shut and laid down a pass.

Even if he was staged with his stripe taker he still runs the same distance as the other cars. In fact he'll run a longer distance than a car staged with his front tires and a stripe taker.

iagree scope NHRA rules on the front body and spoiler height is meant to prevent staging all the cars on the front tires, the stripe takers are designed to work on the other end shruggy
If you stage deep you are racing a little shorter than when you stage shallow work shruggy

everybody is fully staged and it does appear that he is back further than everyone else

I take that back his extension would be in about the same location as the front of everybody

Race is the same length, Cab. 1320 is 1320; 660 is 660. The shallow staged car just gets a run at the starting line that the deep car is closer to.

Yes he was. He lunched his 3rd member right in the lights. You can see a puff of smoke when the motor went on the limiter. Jay and I(and both of our teams) are good friends but we have a pretty intense rivalry on the track.
