I think he just didnt down shift. but regardless good kill anways.

Also I'd like to point out that it does take a certain amount of skill to run the 1/4 correctly

Yes this is true.

Man, took the words right out of my mouth on both points exept I was going to say anyone who thinks 1/4 drag race takes no skill is a moron. If it took no skill there would be no such thing as bracket racing because that is all skill, nothing to do with the car.. just consistency. Yes, road courses take skill, but pretending that 1/4 doesn't take skill is just as bad as the whole "power/weight is everything" thinking.

^^ I agree, basically, just about every type of high speed racing in cars involve skill, good setups, plans, and more...

bracket racing is easy. just use an auto 7th gen and run amazingly accurate 19 second runs all day! all ya need is a good r/t lol ( don't be surprised to see results and or vids of me trying this. lol)
