    I figure the Drag Racing forum is dead in the winter, this breath of fresh air might spice things up a bit.

      Yeah just saw it ... WOW is this funny. That dude is probably on his 5th transmission right now, but hey, it helps him win races!
      LOL
      My advice: get a manual. :D
      Becuase, as Shane and I once fought, manuals go "Vroooooooom psssssh vrooooooom pshhhh vroooooom psssshhhhh vrooooooom pssssssssh" for a 1/4 pass, wheras the autos only get a lame "vrooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooom psssssssh"

        <blockquote>quote:</font><hr> well there is a little technic you might try but you have to perfect it to make it work. Under full aceleration at 49 mph put it in neutral and then back into drive real fast just once though. a car was pulling on me one time and i did my technic and beat him. Work on it it helps. <hr></blockquote>

          Like DOM said, this guy eats lug nuts for breakfast. He lives his life 1/4 mile at a time. He KNOWS what he is talking about, He is a true racer, and you people are all newbies that have never even been to the race track. [/sarcasm]

                Neutral drops???
                At 49 mph under wot you throw it into neutral and then back in drive?????
                This does not work.
                You will not go faster.
                You are only damaging your tranny.
                How many times have you gone down the 1/4?
                I know I've been down it many times.
                You never do that method.
                All you will do is damage the tranny
                my thoughts exactly..but ok i'll bite..say this does actually provide some increase..any increase you get by neutral dropping at 49mph would be off set by the amount of power your car is losing while it is IN neutral..no gain..get good biting traction off the launch..accelerate to WOT (or WOT + juice) asap without spinning..and then just hold on! ...keeping the car as straight as possible down the track

                        This is locked......this STUPID neutral drop should NOT even cross ANYONE'S mind!

                        I hope NO ONE EVER thinks about doing this
