guys,
don't you think there are so many variables when you clock the quarter mile for any car? if the singaporean garage r car clocked 10.1s in september at sepang, and the jun thailand car clocked 9.9s in october in thailand, does it necessarily mean if the garage r car were to go head to head with the jun car it will definitely lose?
dragging is exciting and fun but if you take it too seriously it becomes like watching wrestling and getting badly upset each time hulk hogan lost(sorry haven't watched it since i was a kid literally-kids stuff eh?). like wise with drifting. its fun to apoint but beyond that, it becomes like competing in the paralympics where even if you win, you're still retarded.
hi f8, u see, things r pretty simple here, as far as we are concerned, we are just spectators (or maybe some participating in it). and by comparing the time, no 1 says that if any of these cars are to go head to head, the car with slower timing will lose, bear in mind, there is no 2 universal timing maching which clocks the same time.
You can be running 2 timing systems in a same race but you will get 2 different results - even in the olympics or F1 (that is why they only appoint 1 official time keeper and not 2). and the car clocking certain time in certain place may not be able to clock the same time in another place.
the reason we are so unhappy (or rather happy) about these borneo clocked time is because there are ppl out there who thinks that when they do certain modifications on the cars and comply with certain specs, the car will clock a specific time - which is wrong..... and proven in the race.
anyway FYI, comparison will only give u room to improve and gets better, it is only those retarded ppl who will sits and watch for fun as a spectator and knows nothing about getting better.
only ppl who wants to get involved seriously and competitively will know the feeling and need of improvement. this is also the hunger and motivation in those less fortunate ppl who wins the paralympic, i bet if you have only 1 leg, or blind, you may not be able to win or i would say not even qualify the paralympic if you dont have the hunger to compare and improve.
if every1 sits and watch (like u when u were a kid, or maybe even now), who's going to wrestle hulk hogan?? he would have been a bloody stupid clown wrestling himself in the ring..... :lol:
and if every1 who joins wrestling have to lose to hulk hogan, there will not be anymore wrestling program on tv - the same goes for drag racing. so if u r here to watch for fun, then maybe watching the race and pics posted is enough, don't be bothered by the timing.....
** voice out as a pure drag fans - no hard feeling ok? nothing personal.
