Very True Jack, But Mickey was probably not the first to do a light weight race car, (to need less HP to run a quick number).

The KRE Guys are running dragsters for a reason, a featherweight Pro Stock car for a reason. Less HP need to be made to run a number.

Dragging an extra 500 pounds down the track/(road) vs the guy on the other side just means you need a bunch more HP to be close.

Same deal with a Belt car vs a Turbo car. Both can make great amounts of HP with the right fuel. The deal is the Turbo will use some of the exhaust energy to add power (remember about 30% drives the crank and pistons, 30% goes out the exhaust, and 30% goes into the cooling system (water or air cooled).

The Belt guy has to take it off the crank so he is subtracting HP vs adding to the HP with extra energy.

But if your deal makes 9,000 HP on Nitro, the belt hp can be worked around.

Your an Idiot............Jeff has ALWAYS ran a Dragster (even when he was Bracket Racing), this isn't something he just started to do. He likes racing Dragsters just like I like racing a Door Cars, some racers prefer racing Motorcycles. Light is smart!! Marks car wasn't a Pro stock Car.......... is it light, probably........like I said SMART!
