watching trucks take 1.5 cans of ether to get started on a 75° afternoon, then they have to start them periodically thru the evening to keep some heat in them, and when we finally pull at 10p.m. it hazes and lopes like a mod truck from 2004, and they cant come within 30-40 feet of the top 10

You know, I only about 1/10 of the girls that should actually be wearing stuff like that either....most of the time they are either skinny as a rail or very proud of their beer gut.:badidea:

I think it's funny that "that guy" you described reminds me of Clint, the badass stoner from Dazed and Confused!LOL
 
The guy that has to hang his head out the window to make sure his front tires are spinning.

Or they take off in too high a gear, slip the clutch for 100 feet, back up for a second go and try the SAME GEAR.*bdh**bdh*
 
A guy coaching his girl, "don't lift until the tires burn off it, the local tv is here."
She did fine til about the 350 foot mark when it downshifted, BOOM! The only thing that lived was the engine. Made the local news though.

1. Your pull is over. Revving your engine to the moon after you get through pulling will not in any way increase your distance pulled.

Not sure exactly what your trying to say there, but at the end of the pull, there is a reason alot of guys rev there truck up a couple times, before they back up and unhook, which I have not seen really any posts about it on the forums, but it is needed to be done, see if anyone can guess why. Its mainly for mod trucks though.

since no one else really tried to guess, Ill just tell you, it is only for trucks with water injection, at the end of the pull its still dumping in alot of water and just letting of the throttle wont clear it all out, so they rev up the engine a few times to help clear the water out, also, alot of times the truck will die if you just let off the throttle, so this helps keep it running also, so it doesnt die with water in the cylinders, intake, etc.

I always drive out far just to see how the track looks.



I like it when the guys in the open class pull a sled that weighs several thousend pounds less than the classes before them but get all excited about making the furthest pull of the night.

That's a close second.




Another one I love to see is the pulls that ask the sled driver to slow the box when they get to the last class or two, in order to put on a better show for the crowd.

So you'll see a truck that entered in a lower class put 20 feet on his first pull.

But nobody ever wonders why.
