            • Jeff. Your my hero buddy. Even though my ass gets beat in the heads up category I'll still be running sb/pa this year because I hate bracket racing. I just wanna run for fun. When I ran in 2010 most days I made 2 passes and packed up for the haul. The last day I got beat out of 3rd in sb/na by .003 which sucked but my co pilot and I were thrilled with the drag week experience and will be back this year.

                      Here is the source.

                      The saloon scene from Tombstone in which Doc Holliday and Johnny Ringo challenge each other in schoolboy phrasebook Latin.

                      • And one version with translations there are many but you get the idea. My single favorite movie.

                        So I wached this movie about 100 times wondering what they were saying until I looked it up, finally closure. If u want to skip to the dialogues they are at ...


                        9MM, seriously? Thats a wheel gun.

                        • any DW Cars that want to Drag Race comes to the line with a ET in the window
                          sportsman tree
                          then the spectators would have some Drag Racing to watch.

                          the term Heads Up Racing would be correct if you were racing someone.

                          I do like the thought that DDrivers dont need to work on their cars.

                            only if they are too slow or too smart to break anything. I was looking at some numbers and may have a double virginity break out - DW and Nitrous. I don't want to be parked on the last day for being too slow, particularly after a 400+ mile drive. Seeing that I know absolutely nothing about tuning... or for nitrous, this should be entertaining if nothing else.

                            The real "bracket race" is only on the last day for the DD's?

                            • Yes that's right. The 32 cars with the quickest average time over the five days go rounds on a sportsman ladder, single elimination, with a .10th of a second cushion IIRC. This assumes that nothing prevents the final day and bracket race from happening like last year's rainout.

                              I thnk it might be fun to come up with some kind of race for the other class cars on the last day too. Maybe the same open comp format but with teams of GM, Ford and Chrysler/AMC? That way we'd see who can cut a light or not amogst the non DD cars. Then you could run off the DD winner against the non-DD winner best out of three for the Drag Week Drag Race Championship of the World.

                              Call me crazy.

                                I see you still dont get the fact that its much harder to run for the quickest ET, than get down the track faster than the guy next to you.
