Tune your shit right you cant be burnt down.

 

you don't have a pair of promod turbos if you say that kind of stuff dude

 

You obviously need a better tune up!!

 

Where's the damn popcorn smilie when you need em?

 

How about a pic...

 

burning someone down is a mental part of drag racing that has been a factor as long as i can remember!!! i dont see anything wrong with it just ask "TRICKY" Ricky SMith and many many others...... nothing wrong with a burndown in my eyes

 

Yup, easy to burn down, quick and fast....

 

was there not a rule of 6-7 seconds?

 

x2 tree didnt have this timing set up to automatically go green if second car took to long to hit the second bulb?

 

I don't like it at all, delaying is bullcrap....Been there.....

 

staging duel is fine, burning down a guy on his converter is chickenshit

 

its not chicken shit lol its called racing.every sport has head games invloved in it,just ask spirro pappas the number 1 qualifier how it was getting taken out bye the 32 qualifier in SCSN lol it was sweet it made the drive home even better.

 

I love burn downs, plus it take 2 drivers to make it happen. As for the double bulbs not sure if they were all done deliberately, at least I hope not...

 

Burndowns are one thing....that just means there are two guys that are too damn stubborn to go in. Double bulbing is another story...I hate that shit that's just low down dirty ass racing.

 

Is there a difference between a burndown and staging duel? I like the one where they both prestage and sit...

 

You only get burnt down if you let yourself when the seven second rule is in effect.It is your fault if you dont back out or get off the converter.

 

x2. its all apart of the game take the good wit the bad

 

I only saw 1 double bulb incident and as far as burn downs there is no rule who goes in first and autostart was on.

Autostart was set at 7 seconds and only got 1 racer and that was a junior dragster.

There was only one example of poor sportsmanship displayed and he got his karma when he hurt his engine 2 rounds later.

I witnessed almost every pass for four days and I can assure you from an operational side of things it was a fair race, period.

And there ya have it folks.....end of thread.

 

with the prestages lit on both sides there is usually no time limit.
someone double bulbs, no time limit.
Once one car is prestaged and the other car is staged, time limit is normally between 7-10 seconds when autostart is on. That was done to prevent the burndowns.

If you don't want to play the game when you and the opponent are prestaged, then go in! Double bulbing is bs, and I'll wait to see if the other guy/gal mistakenly went in and lit both. If not, I don't rush my game and make sure I get staged in a timely fashion.

I have had it happen to me several times and i hate it when it happens. I try to go in after about 2 or 3 seconds everytime so i cant do it to noone else.

 

I watched Wolfe get burned down.... The guy still lost though

 

I may be wrong but I didn't se him get burned down...He was doing exactly as I described. He was part of a staging duel at which point he was not on his converter but, with the technique he was using to stage he couldn't get "burned down".

 

Wolfe had the burn down thing solved when he was still running the SBF.

 

 

Most turbo cars wait for the other car to pre-stage then the start to spool up. If you're a turbo car you should do the same. As mentioned before autostart is your friend in this scenario you wait for them to pre-stage then you take whatever time you need to get spooled up and you pre-stage. Then move right in to stage and he has 7 secs.

Done. If you do it any other way (and you race a turbo car) you're asking for too much.

 

I agree 100% and that is exactly what the turbo cars in question did. But the N20 car in question made damn sure he waited 6.99 sec to stage against EVERY turbo car. I know that it is fair to do that, but are you an asshole for it? YES

 

Ok I am new to the drag racing terminology so I got to ask this. What is a burn down and double bulb?? I am a lil bit confused

 

Burndown is when both cars are pre-staged and neither car goes in to stage....they just sit there and let each other heat up. Double bulbing is when someone rolls in and puts the pre stage and stage light on at the same time when the other car hasn't even turned the pre stage light on.

 

I have double bulbed people, by mistake. I allways back up and go back in.

 

Is there a rule against double bulbing?

FWIW..I leave off of idle so, I can sit there for a while.

 

damn quick treed three times!

 

Thanks guys I really appreciate it. I have been told to not bring the RPMs up till both of you are staged and not a moment sooner.

 

Depends on how long it takes your combo to get spooled up (turbo car). Your teacher taught you well for N/A or a Nitrous combo, but it is quite a bit different for a turbo car.

 

I will dbl bulb those guys who take forever. YOu know the ones with 18 guys wearing headsets, 6 guys checking tire & track temp, 2 guys lining up the car.....I am patient, but common if you need that much help just sit in the stands.
