what kind of monkey fffunk was that? Why are there so many tools in the staging lanes? and what kind of start was that?
They both looked kinda slow imo. The mustang pulled the chute and wasn't even going fast enough to make it open all the way in the other video of the same race. That was kinda funny. Just pulling the chute for show I guess.

I guess the RR was giving the stang the jump or something?

Most you guys on here have never seen any grudge racing have you. the RR was giving the mustang the break. In other words the mustang gets to leave 1st. whether he sit there 10 seconds or 1 min. They aren't worried about reaction time unless its a heads up race or just giving the back tire.
Quote:Especially ones that are suffering from epilepsy, apparently!
Seems like very poor safety standards if they let all those people in the lanes.

Good call I never even noticed the other video. So its a 68 or 69 RR. Anybody even know the track.

Can't tell about 68 or 69 because he has the side marker lights filled (68 has round lights, 69 has rectangle). If his rear tailights are correct and the rear bumper is correct then its a 68. 69's have reverse lights in the rear bumper, 68's have them in the tailights.

I've seen plenty of grudge races...most are heads up as they should be. Was that done at a track? Seems like very poor safety standards if they let all those people in the lanes.
Looks like a 69 Plymouth to me.

Anyway it's a 69, freeze frame the shot form behind. Those look like 69 tail lights to me.

"You need to take a trip down south and see some grudge racing. Just like that around here everywhere you go. I have to push people out of the way to get to the burnout box. I don't grudge race myself but test at alot of grudge days cause most of the time the tracks are b etter than test n tune. Always that crowded".
Is that track policy? especially letting somebody open the door of a car after he has staged? At our track they call up grudge races, if you want to watch you do it from the stands.

That track looks like SGMP(or what ever they call it,
South Georgia Motor Park) and the day I was there
there was a TON of people in the burnout area

LOL!!!
Some guys kill me!!! Get out of the NHRA and IHRA box every once in a while.
As was stated look up ndacut and Mike the Hitman Hill on you tube and you'll see some good ole Dirty South grudge matches. That's how we roll down here.
And don't laugh. There is a lot of Money floating around at those races. Everything from Driver-Driver bets and Purses to bets in the stands and staging lanes to bets among the crews.
Even the track gets in on it sometimes. With Bonuses (over the usual winnings) to the winner if the rivalry draws a big enough crowd.
The Hitman himself won a $50k purse a few years back and also put on a $90k purse race last year. Winner takes all.
In fact Hitman just sold his Grudge Match car today because he couldn't get any races with it.
That video looks like some of the smaller racers.
Some tracks do these on TnT nights and some have them on designated nights once a month. Others do it on a Call-out basis. Some are invitational only or a designated Combo if they are going to do multicar races.
Once again DON"T laugh. Look around at all the tracks closing up nation wide because of a Bad Economy and these guys are doing very well.
Do some You Tube browsing and look at what they have going that NHRA/IHRA doesn't.
Honestly at most of those tracks I would rather be in the staging lanes more than anywhere else for safety purposes. You're behind the car it's not coming backwards. Some of the barricades on the side are questionable.
It also help that a lot of those races the people in the stands are familiar with the racers. They are usually people from the immediate area that own businesses or work around the area and have family there.
The crowd can relate on a personal level.

The track is us 41 in n.w. Indiana, and those 2 cars are a long way from slow. That is a KOTS race in oct. of this year.

look at all those donkeys in the burn out area. All it would take is for one of those cars to get a LITTLE squirrley and a bunch of people would end up in the hospital.
