I thought for sure when I saw the title it was Matt apologizing for saying something in the heat of the moment. Glad he's doubling down on this. From race two (I believe it was) with Johnny Gray you could see there was a problem.
this seems like a practical solution to the problem. why no comments ? another question, since so many drivers are anti-tether, would a boycot be feasible ? and finally, Alan Reinhart, I would also like to hear your take on subject.
IT seems like nhra hates ps,or at least trying to kill the class,if i was a sponsor id be furious on the lack of coverage. Foxs broadcast this year has not been good from the previous years.
How does that make any senseSo now Team Titan are taking dives .....
My additonal thought on this issue is. They have been claiming that T/F consumes approx. 15 gallons of fuel per pass For many years now. Start to finish..... Start, burnout, back up then go. I'm led to believe to acheive the e.t.'s and m.p.h. today, they are consuming much more per pass than 15 gallons of fuel that they bragged about to the viewers. Problem is that they didn't address is the size of the body burst panels due to the increase of fuel into the motors. Does this or doesn't this make sense?? The bigger the amount of fuel going in must need a bigger exit coming out if it chooses Not to leave the headers!
I've been wondering if the vinyl wraps are adding just enough enforcement to keep the body from bursting apart into smaller sections, eliminating that large area that blocks the view.
when i first read this i thought you were referring to intake burst panels. then i realized you meant body burst panels.
Good point. I know the burnouts have gotten significantly shorter over the years. I think that could save a gallon or two.
I would think it would become a big sail and no telling which way the car would go. Not sure they tried that sometime back.
NHRA controls the broadcast
Since Connie and Doug are very well-healed financially, I wonder if they offer to pay for the repairs to the Tony S. car. Yes, Tony Stewart is worth many millions too, but it seems like the right thing to do for the Kalittas. If so, would us fans even hear about this sportsman-like gesture?
I don't like the idea of that at all. The odds of it getting tangled in the chute lines, pieces of it breaking off and becoming entangled with the chassis or the tires - or the car in the other lane - (in my opinion) could cause a much more catastrophic situation than the body simply blowing off the car. Unless I've missed something, not once in the history of drag racing has a funny car body flown into the stands.
FS1, at least in this area, airs a 3-hour broadcast early and then another later in the evening. I haven't watched the early one since Brainerd but from what I hear PS and PSM E1 and 2 are covered during the early one, 3 and 4 in the evening. Makes no sense to me but I suppose they have their reasons.
They never show 1st and 2nd rd of pro stock in its entirety,nhra is trying to kill the class. BUT they can show 5 diffrent reruns of nitro cars and have highlights of nitro rounds we just saw 30 min ago over amd over again.
