TNT'ers think they are racers

Ah but you can have affordable Heads up racing thats fair, we had the best class ever in the UK in my opinion...."Super Modified", here were the rules.....shame I was out of it all back then.

I had this discussion with some Racers over here on a forum and thats all they keep saying......"affordable heads up, what planet is that on". but you can!..and you could water those rules down for heavier slower cars so less expense.....All we know over here is bracket/index racing, its become entrenched for us. Yes we got PM TF FC as well but only a few cars, its almost non existent, the whole meeting is more or less brackets/index stuff, I was never much into bikes but we got a super street bike heads up class running low 7's at 200mph on street tread and I've got into that in desperation for something half interesting to watch....do you know how boring it is to watch almost a whole day of brackets/index racing with cars that can run 8's on stops running S/G etc., and god knows what its like for the spectators who have an idea of what Drag Racing is supposed to be all about, watching 1 car leave then the other, or a car slowing down and then going again, from an ex Racers viewpoint, its:sleepy1:......

Anyway, as long as your having fun whatever your doing with your car, thats the main point, and although its exactly what I ran back in the day, today I wouldn't go near it if I had a car out again....lets face it if you build a car and got it set up well from the off so it hooks and runs well and you leave it alone its gonna be fairly consisent anyway isn't it unless you mess with it more so whats the big deal in just going out and repeating all the time, I would want to be at the car all the time trying to get another few 100ths or a 1/10th out of it and testing my tuning skills in a heads up race so I can run a quicker ET, and thats where having a good RT really counts in cutting that top beam first....not thinking about whether I've got the throttle stop adjusted right, or shall I pull out of the throttle cos I'm so far ahead, is that really Drag Racing?........perhaps it is to some, and thats fine, anyhow these are only my views and observations of what Racing today is over here......each to their own.
