I am sorry. If your car is stopped, and on fire, get the hell out. Why wait? Unless injured, she should be able to get out of the car. Recently at the March Meet a car stalled at the end of the burnout, and I was shocked at how long it took for that driver to get out of the car.
.067 average over those 10 runs. without looking it up, would guess that puts her around average for class?
Actually....yeah....
went back to old tune up from what fs1 said last night
OK. Not Brittany, but let’s take a look at Phoenix. Schumacher versus Ashley for Winternationals final. I don’t know what light Tony had, seems like a 40 or so. The Brat hooked a 20-something light. How is that even possible? It sounds like a good guess, on his part, but he sure guesses well most of the time! I don’t even know how it can be that quick. How is it even possible that someone can, consistently, cut 20 to 40 lights in a 300 inch long top fuel car? This isn’t a one time occurrence. The Brat does it all the time! That’s just weird.
Are we like 5? Why do we need to be name calling? The lack of maturity and class from some of you when it comes to Justin is just embarrassing.
Being gifted (or putting the work in) on reaction times gives you the consistency to react in a narrow window every time. Once that is achieved, then you can tweak you staging procedure and/or throttle setup to shift the RT one way or another. Pro Stock racers can consistently cut 20s-40s all day long. The fuel class drivers have just been a little later to the party to focus on this.

Well said LarryPaul
I could not agree with you more. I am getting sick of the name calling. those of you that like to call names please show your real name and include the last time you strapped your ass in a fuel car, I have for years. Name calling on this site is not needed, only respect is needed for those who spend their money and risk their lives to put on a show for You name callers that only drive a laptop keyboard.

I would like to add to my post, and it most likely will get removed. Mr. LoPony (now Chris French as of my post today) you are new to the site as of July 14, 2023 but sense you join you have called many of great racers names including Garlits,Shirley, Ashley etc. If Don Garlits is such a #$@^&*$ as you said, why did you take your picture with him. how about posting your resume for your back ground in drag racing, if you are so knowledgeable of all the racers you call names or are you a professional grand stand seat warmer.
Larry, that was the whole point of my post. I think you missed it. These people are heroes to us, as fans, and we don’t expect them to act like an ass. Of course, I always wanted a picture with Garlits. Hey, he was a jerk, to many fans not just me. But he’s still the greatest, I’m not going to pass up a photo op with him. I don’t think your post will get removed, I think you just didn’t get it. It’s OK. We love you dude.I would like to add to my post, and it most likely will get removed.

Here's another immature post from Chris French from the Camrie crash thread. I'll bet that Chris French wouldn't have the stones to say ANYTHING face-to-face with either Justin Ashley or Alan Reinhardt.
She got back in the throttle about half track. But Alan Reinhart’s big mouth, and the lack of microphones at the finish line, made it inconclusive. I just could not figure it out.
Yeah! I’m proud of her that she made it to a final.
