some ppl build drag cars to break records. they dont give a shit about winning or losing to hte person next to em. not everyone wants to "win the race"

this is very true tho, most of ppl at the drags are there run their best time or breaking records.

yep, most ppl dont go there to get a good reaction time. They go there to get a good ET. Which brings us back to the original question. The thread has sorta gone off topic imo.

question has been asnswered. time to end hte thread.

horses for courses..
and maybe thailand is different to australia.

the cars u race aren't on par with one another... i was lined up with WRX, 180 etc etc.. and i only had a civic, they could have launched on 3rd gear and beat me...

And I personally aint too proud if i beat the car next to me and to have a slower slip.. so embarassing:o

Answered...

It could be a mystery and up to debate..

there is no conclusion.. we just have to learn to accept it..

It will be on "Extraordinary" tv series in about 5 years time..

Thread closed.. OT

were not hardcore drag racers. Were just going out there to have fun and chase times.

exactly.. so if u beat him with a handicap who won.....

Its not about beating him as he already has a handicap.. its about ET's..

I cant believe you still cant grasp that concept

.530 and the WRX driver does a shitty reaction time of 1.6 guess what if you run your normal 14.00 and he runs his normal 13.00 you just WON

and am i suppose to use my Hazards to signal my WIN haahha..:thumbsup:they obvious cant go off the ET.

maybe ppl go to break fastest FWD NA/turbo, fastest RWD NA, fastest NA on street tyres. WAT EVER RECORDS THere are to break, ppl want to break it.

they obviously dont give a FOCK about R/T as they want the perfect launch as possible. so they take their time launching. WHY DO YOU ALWAYS WANT TO BEAT THE GUY NEXT TO YOU. THERE PPL DONT GIVE A FCUK. SO YOU CANT SAY THAT THE PURPOSE IS TO WIN

OMFG.. THIS IS SO ****IGN STUPOID

ADDED: IF they wanted to see who wanted to win in a RACE, they'd just race on teh streets. using traffic lights. go off that. no point spending 45bux and waiting 45minutes in between each run to see who wins.

ppl want to go and see their ET's and 60ft times on official printed slips

funni stuff.
