It's funny, but it is partially the track officials fault.

On TnT/street night there is always someone doing this(staging with the rears/pulling up to the tree). Normally the track official should make the genius in the car back ALL the way out and re-stage correctly.

seen that done before at Kdale many of times...

Da Prez · 04-27-2009, 03:34 AM

Ditto. First time I've ever seen that done, either the rear tire staging or leaving in reverse.

I run the timing system at our local track. I see a couple of ricers trying to stage at the tree at least once every weekend. Back tires is pretty common too. I have only seen the reverse thing once, but it was in a '68 Camaro, and it somehow broke the tranny. Not only did he launch in reverse, but then had to get out and help push his car off the track in front of everybody

.

Goofy people keep it interesting, I love one wheel street tire John Force burnouts in the waterbox too!

Yup, I don't know about Hallsville, but every time we have any kind of promotional race like "$10 entry, race for free..." we have the ricer "race cars" show up in groves and show their racing prowess
