He just won both entries first round today at Dragway 42 at the no box race. He wanted to try some foot brake racing today.

Damn.... my streak of going rounds on foot brake ended this past Friday night. Putting together a trans brake car because my old *** feet are too inconsistent now.... lol

Are the newer cars hard to get consistent reaction times out of.

Yes and no. The car is pretty damn consistent. More so than my Duster ever will be however I am still trying to find the sweetspot on launch RPM's and anything other than off idle is tough unless I use the launch control which I hate. I suppose if I were racing for big money, I would do what's best and that is either launch off idle or use the launch control. I just like pushing the car to get the most out of it and I haven't had it long enough to be good on the light.
 
Ohhh well
I texted him and he won first round but the alternator quit. He said he wasn’t really feeling it today and rain is supposed to be heading their way so he’s heading home.

You might need a taller tire, that thing has a lot of torque right now
 
True footbrake (using both feet) or no box (leaving off transbrake)?


Not sure who you’re asking but my son Matt was true foot braking this weekend but is usually now a box and transbrake racer. He just wanted to race. Lol. Nick that won the race is a foot brake racer and always deep stages. That’s at least his (Nicks) third win of the year.
