LMAO, tell that to the guys in

ADRL
X275
OL275
OL 10.5
OLDR
All 1/8 mile

And then there is you, with a big tire tube car with blower that runs 8.xx. You can tell them how much better your chit is cuz it can run the whole 1/4 with out breaking, even the duct tape don't fly off.

John, John, John,
Those are just numbers and letters to me they mean NOTHING.
Never said my car was better I just would rather and not afraid to run the !/4 mile.
WHY run the 1/8 when you are at a 1/4 mile track unless………………….! YOU tell me.
I happen to like my 8.15 169MPH Duck Tape Bracket car that ONLY needs ONE driver (thats is also the crew) and I can DRIVE to the staging lanes, down the 1/4 mile and DRIVE back PASS after PASS after PASS! Thank You very much!!

you do realize that just because some cars choose not to drive back and forth does not mean they cannot do it....right? jeff, Jack,marcella, dwight myself etc...could if we chose to. The reason for pushing is to control temperature and minimize valve train wear...Not because we can't. Its because we can do math and its smarter if you have the resources.
