Heads Up Racing Photo Finish Last Night
Last night was our last heads up race of the season. Though my car isn't really a heads up car, I do enjoy throwing a bottle on it from time to time. This picture was my first round win against a turbo Coyote Mustang. This was a hole shot win, I had the better (flash)light and just held on. I lost in the second round to the eventual event winner. I think I've taken this 2 bolt (factory bolts) HFT cammed 455 about as far as I can w/o scattering it.

Great job on the thrashing!
Do they have lights at the finish line or just a visual?

One word - TURBO! Leave the goggle gas behind and boost that baby! Nice thing is for street racing it comes out easy if set up that way and comes on like a freight train at the top end. .

The start line is about 100 feet past the actual track finish line. The picture is from the official track camera. It took awhile to learn who won that one. I had the better r/t which was the difference.

I'm more of a bracket/index racer but it's still crossed my mind many times.

That pointy beak came in handy! It's no small task to outrun a boosted coyote.
Nice win!

The end of a drag strip goes by the tire.

Staging beams are 2 inches off the ground, finish line is about 5 inches. Big difference.

Gentlemen, this was a no prep flashlight start race. It was on the back side of the drag strip and the painted line was the finish. No trip beams anywhere...
