    Yeah when I see guys not having tear offs...well, I'll change the story a little bit - I was talking to Adam's Sorokin about exact thing, because we were talking about his canopy and he said he wasn't a fan of it at first either partially because of the look (we agreed, butbotngrew on me and him - was how this conversation started) and when the motor blows up you don't have have windshield wipers or anyting LMFAO, you're just blind, then started laughing like he kind of enjoys the chaos of it.😁 But I brought up tear offs and I said to him, why do guys not wear them and he goes, because they're stupid, and I just lost it laughing, which in turn made him laugh, but yeah it doesn't make you a puss cuz you put caraway's on your visor it prevent you from hitting the wall maybe or hitting another car and so on so yeah I'm not sure why I went on with this story but there you go lol :-)

    @@sanfranciscobay No computer controls in nostalgia racing. Sometimes the crew chief might want it a little fatter or lean and they can make minor idle adjustments. If you look at the Circuit Breaker, you see my buddy todd looking at the digitial display until the other car is ready to go.

    I don't watch much drag racing anymore, but where have I been. I don't think I live under a rock, maybe I do lol. But I thought 99% of top fuel dragsters were rear engines. Has anyone got a answer.
