I was talking more about hacks like me who dont know what they are doing making sure their revs are at the right amount before taking off. I wouldnt expect a practised drag racer to sit there for ages getting ready.

Ok Guys....Lets admit it!.....Power doesn't just come in the form of a V8. I think its awesome, the amount of power and speed some of the guys are pulling from the six cylinder turbo cars!. And If they have to spool up a bit, so be it. Two totally different types of power...worked V8 has the power there instantly.....Turbo six comes on later, but once its on, its awesome. I've owned both typed of engine.....and both have there strengths and weaknesses. :1syellow1

Paying 70 odd bucks and getting only 2 or 3 runs, can see why people get annoyed at the spoolers. Dangerous too if you are at the end they are coming up behind you real fast, not a good situation, at the end of the day you can't control what other people do, you will never get rid of the spoolers, Just gonna have to live with it.

i dont like them taking up my racing time, but I think at the same time they deserve a shot. We are all racers after all. :

to me drag racing is racing the guys next to you..

lets face it when you have a quick go at a set of traffic lights....its about who get to the other side first

I agree with Aussie....I've seen these guys in their VL turbos sit there bringing on the boost....it looks stupid.....and nobody in the crowd any notice....
