yeah i did
they were talking about how to "drive a race car"
thats the point I was trying to make. the only type of car that would be considered a race car with an automatic is a domestic, that is intended for drag racing.
your standard import doesn't have the extra torque to waste on an automatic tranny. and your average import is also built to turn, not just go straight.
because i was getting so much flack for it, i was being sarcastic, and apologizing for my errored ways thinking that the only real race is in a straight line.
But I do have to ask. In most races, the driver plays a very important part. It seems as though in a drag race, the driver's role is much less important. Now that it is standard practice to use automatics, the driver really doesn't seem to do much. Other than push the pedal down.... So my question is, what does the driver actually do? I'm not talking about pro-stock. and funny cars, and rail cars, or anything like that. I'm talking about your "average" drag racer. What makes a good drag race driver, versus a bad one?
