Question:

I've seen a few videos at this strip, but it looks like the cars that race each other do not go from a dig. Am I wrong? How do they know when to hit it? IS anything clocked? Like 1/2 mile time or end speed?

Thanks.

Cars are allowed to go from a dig or a roll, whichever you prefer. If you go from a roll there are 2 big cones that mark where to start accelerating. The 1/2 mile trap speed is clocked, but not the elapsed time.

I've attended both of these events last year. It's literally a whole day of racing, it's both laid back and well organized. Plus, if the significant other comes along, the Carrabelle area is actually rather scenic. I highly suggest renting a townhome for a night or two from a realtor. It's actually about the same as a hotel room, but larger and nicer. I had a place last October that was on the river inlet to the Gulf. I hear this year that race gas will available and a dyno will be there.

Thanks for posting. If we get moved in by then, would love to come up there with the Munster. A good opportunity for us to meet a few Florida car guys.
