cool vid, but the driver needs to work a little more. Then again, that's only an 1/8 mile track right?

Yes its 1/8th mile.



That has nothing to do with the ET. In drag racing the timer doesnt start until you break the beams at the line.

I was just remarking about how long it took the car to leave the line, not the actual time for the run.

I got ya.

Normally if im doing time trial runs and running a faster car I will sit at the line for a few seconds and let them leave first for that "Just in case" moment that something may go wrong on their end I will have enough time to react and not be part of it. Granted the difference in that race wouldnt have mattered much. lol

I will still normally sit at the line and leave when im ready. Allows for a more focused take off and pass when your head is 100% into it.

haha that was me at irwindale. I didnt even know i had a video
i was trying to run a stock caliber srt4 but they split us up and lined us up against 7 sec cars. i waited a little, last week a mustang flew across the lines and slammed into the wall. i wish they would seperate certain cars when it came to the strip.

ah, so it is like Jrod said, you waited for that monster to take off so you didn't end up dealing with any malfunction on his part. What kind of wagon was that anyway? That is, if you were able to tell.
