Sorry but I quit drag racing when you began being disqualified for going too fast and got into Autocrossing instead.

Some I agree with such as scattershields and driveshaft loops. Others I can see (extra equipment above a certain speed).

But losing because you go too fast, give me a break. Even in the last century I could design a computer to go the same speed every time (easier than the controls for "hard ride" in an F-16) but then is not a test of my skill, just the skill of programming..

Frankly I trouble understanding drag racing on TV today - how do people still spin the tires when they talk about setting Traction Control on their laptops ?

"That does not compute".
