You could have the fastest 1/4 mile car, be a great driver and still screw up and loose. No way in hell I'd do that...but I'm interested to see other people do it

You would have to have a ton of money, nuts the big enough to fill up the Super Dome, or just crazy as hell to do that. I don't mind paying a couple of hundred dollars if I lose a race. Hell even a couple of thousand but I have too much invested in my car and not enough money to replace it on a whem. There are just too many things that can go wrong even if you have the fastest car in the field. But I will love to watch the expressions of the people who loose their car. I know the police will have to be present because somebody anit going to want give up their ride.

On the contrary, I think it will be worth watching the rice, because then we're guaranteed at least one major hissyfit per show.

I doubt it will be a rice fest, but probably some beater rides. Doubtful that people are going to bring $100K rides out there with the possibility of losing.

thats not heads up acing is it? isnt this were you have to set your time and the person closes to their time wins? if so, all you need it a car that runs consistantly, it doesnt even need to be a sports car. if you get an auto minivan that runs 20's all day and set ur time to 20 you would win right?

Dunno, they said they will handicap it accordingly, but it also says there is negotiating done between the races.
