Racer, lol. Both could loose 100 lbs. No drag "racer" dives into deep-stage like he did on 2 of his runs. Still, pretty cool video on the side near the tire.

Was hoping the BOSS would win just on the basis of those atrocious tail lights covers on the GT alone

 

Those covers were just being fitted for development, we sell a ton of them, we're just adding them in a painted version. I'm not a HUGE fan of them, but I don't think they're that bad, LOL. As for deep staging like that, you're going to have to talk to Brick about that one. I gotta say, .003 light, hard shifting... he did his thing!

 

I think I was a little harsh on my first post Chris, my apologies. We all know styling is a personal choice.

As for the vid, very entertaining! Good job AM

 

Lol @ the kitchen sink tune

 

What were the mods to both cars?

 

I don't know Jason... They are atrocious... Lol

 

LOL!

 

Why not? Maybe he wanted to have less distance to cover to help his reaction time? Sometimes leaving when one amber goes off is too early, and when the next one comes on is too late....changing where you stage is a way to compensate for that. They were racing heads up.

He cut an .003 light once, what was his average light?

Neither were the pinnacle of consistency, and thats kinda bad for that auto car. And I dunno if it was just me or what but that weird bog hop thing the boss did wasn't what I would call a launch. What were this "racers" 60' times? Maybe post the time slips for us to see?

I give AM credit for picking a power level for the GT with the traction it had that netted somewhat similar ET's to the boss.

And btw, real cars have 3 pedals. Just sayin'

 

a fun night to say the least

 

I stated: "no drag racer dives into deep-stage". I meant diving into the 2nd light which is the staged lights (pre-stage, staged). This was not a heads-up Pro tree. Deep-stage is when you turn off the pre-stage lights while still staged. Usually creeping into the staged lights is common to help your ET (minimal as it may be). He looked like a newbie the way he dove into the staged lights instead of creeping in and finding his personal spot. The guy in the GT has done it before, at least it showed from the viewers perspective.

You are correct. He looked like he didn't know where to stop even though he could see the pre-stage bulbs light up.

 

That Boss was bogging bad.

 

QFT!

Those "launches" looked weird/sad for someone who's supposed to be a good racer. I'd love to see the time slip.
