Why do it without blowers if you don't have to? So maybe they're running 4.70s or 4.60s instead of 3.60s. What's the difference if the show, the sound, and the look are still incredible?
As I've said before, I'm a big fan of A/Fuel, but you can't compare the visceral experience of Top Fuel to A/Fuel. It's not just about the ETs. In fact, I think it's less about the ETs and more about the experience—the ground shaking, the noise, the flames, the smell of nitro, and everything that makes Top Fuel unlike anything else in motorsports.
When most of us fell in love with nitro drag racing, 4.80s were science fiction. Nobody cared that they weren't running 3.60s because the cars looked and sounded absolutely amazing. That's what made us fans in the first place.
