Well they're morons sooo

yes

yeah

You get that this was a No Prep event and that *all* no prep is 1/8 mile, right...?

They went 1/8 mile loooong before the "no prep" thing started. Don't know really anything about the "no prep" idea other than seeing it referred to with late night street racing. What's the deal with it at a track? A way for the owners to get people paying $$ without having to even bother sweeping the leaves off the track?

HillbillyonaYZ No....it's a way to run what is essentially a street race but make it legal. It's called "no prep" because that's what it is....there's no track prep done. Just like on the streets. They run 1/8 mile in no prep races because we're talking about cars that are doing between 170 and 200 mph in the 1/8th and cars tend to get loose on the big end, because no track prep. 1/4 mile no prep would be suicidal.

That wasn't a track idea.

Didnt say it was. Said it SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED by all tracks.

It's probably just a go pro lol but still a good idea none the less

Yea pretty much no matter who it is lol

No prep racing

It's a 55

they do a burnout to heat the tires. It literally begins to melt or burn them (thus the smoke) to make them sticky and gain traction for the actual race launch.

Bob D very helpful :)

no prep is where racers take their cars to the track and race on an un prepped surface to simulate a real street race experience.

prepping the track with some kind os sticky formula so the cars have grip, they lay it down the whole track and set it on fire, its kind of like the formula they put by the tires when they do burnouts!!

No track prep

thechillone who is he?.. i love that car

It's just called Lil Sister not 55 2.0.

To build heat into the slicks (rear tires) for maximum (as possible) adhesion to the track surface.... it's called a "burnout". Mistakingly... many uninitiated bracket racers will do the same thing with their street tires... but, it has the opposite effect... because the tires are Not compounded for that, and will generally create Less traction, rather than making them stickier for added traction. I hope this helps to answer your question.

2Stroke Diesel Power actually street tires CAN benefit from a burnout You just don't want to overheat and glaze them which is much easier to do

Yes... Ozark Raceway, in Rogersville, MO.... Go East on state hwy 60, from the junction of Hwy 65 (runs north and south) at the southeast corner of Springfield and follow to state hwy/rd "U" then turn right (south) and follow to Ozark Raceway(address is 8529).. you can't miss it.

he doesn't get it

nocoolname32 I don't get what? some guy points to a line then runs backwards and turns on a light to launch the cars. I have been going to drag races for 45+ years. I street raced my 70 chevelle many many times. I am absolutely positive you could not teach me anything about drag racing I don't all ready or have known for many years. But they are not on a street. They are on a drag strip. So your argument of street racing on a drag strip does not make any sense. Lets take street racing to a drag strip and only use the track but not the lights to simulate street racing. How does not using the lights make it street racing? The guy launching the cars is using a LIGHT. When I raced my chevelle on the street most of the time we raced from a stop LIGHT and we both used that big white line painted on the street that tells you where to stop/start. And no prep means no track prep.

see, you don't get it

It's basically the same thing they do on the street but in the safety of a dragstrip

FlyBoySlim .....if youve been to drags for 45+ years and "street" raced your chevelle youd know that in a street race they dont have lights and a staging block....its all done by one person on the street, these racers at the track are made to be street legal racing at a track...

Because powaaaa

power over balance

because no prep

No track PREPARATIONS.. personally I have to say it's dumb as hell... i guess if you live in an area where the tracks are sub par to begin with it not far from normal... 🤔

+TheEscobar999 because racecar?

No prep has Nothing to do with using water/bleach/vht,it means they don't drag the track or clean it the day of the race. Here's the big dogs @ no-prep: (using pimp juice) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdCGY5OJsZqsh2w.html

those tires are yuge! lol

Because the mixture they put under the tires melts the rubber from their tires onto the track, giving them some "self prep". That helps them actually get out of the hole. Thats why you see all the cars get loose mid track, since theres no more rubber on the track from the burnouts.

Lol dumbest thing I've ever heard

EL Negro it's called reading the road, or go home.....

not the fastest that day but fuck! that's one bad ass driver and car!!

look up the godfather impala you can see the car
