Yep. They should do away with the NHRA, and all other forms of timed motorsports, and just go off everybody's mod list and dyno sheets. After all what the car "should do" is all we need, right?

For most I believe the Dyno #'s shows more than just the HP and TQ #'s. If their not important to you that's fine, but remember we're not all the same, we're not all building for the same reasons, we'er not all race car drivers, and for some of us the drag strip stuff is just good fun vs a competitive sport so we don't care what the timeslip says other than maybe we need a bit more practice to go faster or get of the line better.

My problem is with the car show guys who toss a dyno sheet on the dash at the local Hooter's car show and say "it'll run 10s". Again, it takes no talent, skill, or effort to get a dyno sheet. |

Since when does a dyno sheet show what the car will run? Unless they have a 10 second slip with prove that it was there car who gives a flyin F#*K! A dyno sheet is absolutley worthless. I can print one off of this site and show everyone that my car makes 1000 rwhp when all the while it was an ECS camaro that the sheet was for. So someone says there car made 740 rwhp and they have the "sheet" to prove it. Unless that car runs at the track and shows what it can do it's all bs. And this crap about amateur racers???? We are all amateurs. I don't make a living drag racing my camaro. Like most on here I go a handful of times a year. That by no means makes me a pro, more like a novice. |

What I love is when you goto the car shows. They say it has 650wHP and runs 10s but they running stock street tires. Car aint running no tens with those. Most usually dont lie and admit that they havent run it..

some of us shift like grandmas at the track.(like ME!)
the dyno showed my car should have run much better....then the clutch started to slip.their is so much from 1 end of the car to the other to get a good time NOT HP. but hp you can get to the ground..run after run.... I know of a 1100+ car that ran 12's it's all in the INTIRE package...... and a 380hp car run 12's so you tell me where the real deal is.... I just like to drive my car. P.S. drove a stock vert the other day and DANGA my car is much more fun.lol

I have no clue; as I said I'm still preparing to do some tracking this summer, but don't have all the necessary gear yet. For now all I have to share with everyone is the dyno queen sheet.
Can't wait though, I've decided on a helmet, harness, and trying to figure out if I really need the harness bar, and tank plate or to use the 4 points on the harness and hooks in the rear seats and tank plate. Man, I have to tell ya' when I decided to start doing things with this vehicle, and try out some racing stuff for fun never realized how much it takes to finally get there.
