Man, you spend more time looking to the side than looking where you are going.
Looks like you are a trickster and playing games.
Why not just run your race.
Just asking.

Have you ever won super pro with a 14 second car? If memory serves me correct Nick has.I agree the smoke was a little on the edge.

Nick. A lot of these guys will never get it!!!!!!! But it's fun to laugh at their responses! Cut a light. Dial it tight. Run that pig out the back!
so you condone locking the brakes up on the big end and coming out of the seat belts?

I know that may be tough to watch but I guarantee you the best bracket racers in the nation manage the stripe just like that, or close to it...get it in high gear and turn around and look for the opponent, I raced with Scotty Richardaon, his brother Edmond, Luke Bogaki, Tommy Phillips, both the Heffler brothers and if you think they are not turning around in the seat looking for you would be sadly mistaken...yes, if you kill the tree and tight dial (and can run it) you will be tough to beat...however...most serious bracket racers are "carrying" a few and WILL be turning around looking to see where you are so they can kill a few...if you are tight and on your dial you got 'em but...I won a couple of championships and alot of money turning around in the seat of my dragster and judging the opponent...there is an art to driving the stripe, when I started bracket racing I was a tight dialer, when I started winning I loosened the dial and started driving the stripe...just sayin, is there a right way or a wrong way maybe not, you just learn what it takes to win...imho.

Haha I don't think I said anything about that did I. I am referring to finish line racing vs guys who make time runs every round.

I'll just say regardless of how he drives I guarantee he has gone more rounds than most of the racers on this board....myself included. 
so what, it's not about winning or being good. you want to race him locking up the brakes on you? wish I have the video of someone I knew here hitting the wall at the stripe doing that.

I'm sure Nick would say he got a little excited there and wishes it didn't happen and will hopefully learn from it.I don't know him personally so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt here instead of jumping him.That happened to me once at the end of the quarter and honestly scared me a little so needless to say it never came close to happening again.

There are lots of guys around here that smoke a little on the top end, it is frowned upon but not enforced.
