Default RE: Drag Racing

That thread starter is the closest thing to spam without being spam that I’ve ever seen.

I’ve been drag racing for years (real cars, not the little ones). I already utilize TAG Systems for that. However, from the weather station to the laptop programs, it’s all virtual and still leaves “guess work” and “lone decisions”. It’s merely a tool and that’s it.

When it comes to R/C drags, although the software or device may be a useful tool, cost effectiveness is very important. The people that are spending thousands of dollars on one R/C drag car are fools. It’s only important to be consistent and run your numbers. For those who want that 2.5 second dragster or funny, have at it, in the end, the 3.5 second R/C Dodge Avenger I’ve been running (the past year) for a friend will be dead on it’s dial each and every time and I’ll send those super quick cars home boo-hooing.

I ain’t buying it.
