So they are NOT required in any NHRA class? Top fuel, Pro-Stock, Promod, etc don't require them cause that is just blowing my mind? I guess I never read that far into the book...I got to 8.50 and stopped there.

Is this you in the tan car N20? That's spectacularly brutal! Good luck with the repairs. I have had a concern about my car doing that, time to take action.

Blip the throttle, shortshift into the next gear, or a combination of the two. You want to come down at WOT. It's very easy to armchair quarterback these situations...things are happening REALLY fast.

Once again is wow!! I can't imagine a moonshot like that or thinking so quick to make the landing 'softer'. I hope you truly get checked out so that you don't have issues going forward. When you race you absolutely bring it! I enjoy he car and hope you get the car fixed and get back out there
