Well i went and did it!
Yup, did the exact thing I never do. Dumped a 7 second dragster at a high dollar gambler race, during our Summit Race Of Champions. It was the 3rd round and I didn't trust the car (you know why if you follow my blogs)I just barely dumped him at the finish line, and it was .0084 for him. We went on Walace it was 18" at the stripe. I ran real close to my number, and the MPH was really close, but any kind of lift was that amount.What is worse, I put .005 in the box, and that too would have done it, but then again, I would have just dumped more right?
My friends were at the finish line, they saw my brake lights as I crossed. Now I know I didn't apply the brakes, but my foot was there, and my go pedal was lifting.I have replayed it in my mind many times this weekend!
So it may work for you to lift on dragsters , but I don't plan on doing it again any time soon. I am going to keep putting my dragster package on. That is, put a real number on the car, look staright ahead, and keep saying "don't lift", even when it looks like they aren't going to be there!
I am a bone head for sure!
