Limey, I should be down there with someone and their street car that might want to take that $100 bill from you.

You make 2 passes down the track. The average between the 2 will be your best. So if you ran a 11.30 and a 11.19 you average would be 11.245. So make both runs count. Basicly its the best 2 run average race.

I knew that's what he was talking about TRIPLE G. 
I just don't understand the whole "average" thing. If you make an 8 second run on your first pass but then have to lift on your second pass to keep from hitting the wall, you still made an 8 second run on your first pass. Why should you be penalized for your second, or first run, for that matter?

I dont have a problem with it. Thats racing. If you have a bad pass well you will probably loose. Makes it a driver and car contest.No different than if we just did a heads up elimination, one bad run and your out. Happened to me at drag warz last year. Made it to the finals and wouldnt you know it tranny wants to act up. realy bad 1st to 2nd shift and go home with a second place finish.

Well, I guess we'll just have to make both runs count then. 
Maybe dial the car back a little to make sure it will get down track OK.

Very well put.
Not trying to penalize anyone but instead trying to keep someone from coming out and going for broke with a 8 second run and then can not back it up within a reasonable range.
