Eliminering och avgörande i SM 2009!

Jaha det är nu det gäller... Så här ser förutsättningarna ut inför dagens elimineringar.
Eftersom det är Ingvar som leder SM totalt med 9 poäng före mig så måste jag vinna en elimineringsrunda mer än Ingvar, varje runda ger nämligen 10 poäng.

Men om man tar hastighets rekord eller tidsrekord så får man 25 Poäng extra och det räcker att Ingvar åker 227 km/h så har han tagit ett nytt hastighets rekord och får således 25 poäng extra. Då räcker det att Ingvar vinner 1:a elimineringsrundan så är han svensk mästare.. Så även om jag vinner denna tävling och totalt 3 av 4 tävlingar i SM så kan jag inte vinna SM totalt... Och detta pga Ingvar tagit 2 svenska rekord denna säsong.

Håkan, Ingvar och Anders har skruvat och skruvat och är nu redo för elimineringen. Häggen åkte tyvärr hem i går efter det att växellådan gått sönder.

Återkommmer efter 1:a rundan som körs efter invigning av banan och tal av kommunalråd kl 11. Ni kan se allt, precis som igår på www.nitroz.se.

Dragracing for Dummies (ordlista med Dragracing termer, engelska uttryck används även i Sverige)

Burnout: spinning the rear tires in water to heat and clean them prior to a run for better traction. A burnout precedes every run.

Christmas Tree: Also called the Tree, it is the noticeable electronic starting device between the lanes on the starting line. It displays a calibrated-light countdown for each driver.

Clutch Lockup: The progression of clutch-disc engagement controlled by an air-timer management system.

Deep stage: to roll a few inches farther into the beams after staging, which causes the pre-stage lights to go out. In that position, a driver is closer to the finish line but dangerously close to a foul start.

Elapsed time: the time it takes a vehicle to travel from the starting line to the finish line. Also called e.t.

Eliminations: After qualifying, vehicles race two at a time, resulting in one winner from each pair. Winners continue in tournament-style competition until one remains.

Foul start: indicated by a red light on the Christmas Tree when a car has left the starting line before the green light, or starting signal.

Holeshot: when a driver reacts quicker to the Christmas Tree to win a race against an opponent with a quicker e.t.

Pre-stage: to position the front wheels about seven inches behind the starting line so the small yellow lights atop that driver’s side of the Christmas Tree are glowing. The next step is to stage and be ready to race.

Pro Tree: used in Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, Pro Stock Motorcycle, Top Alcohol Dragster, Top Alcohol Funny Car, Super Comp, Super Gas, and Super Street, which feature heads-up competition. All three large amber lights on the Christmas Tree flash simultaneously, followed four-tenths of a second later by the green starting light.

Reaction time: the time it takes a driver to react to the green starting light on the Christmas Tree, measured in thousandths of a second. The reaction-time counter begins when the last amber light flashes on the Tree and stops when the vehicle clears the stage beam.

Sixty-foot time: the time it takes a vehicle to cover the first 60 feet of the racetrack. It is the most accurate measure of the launch from the starting line and in most cases determines how quick the rest of the run will be.

Speed trap: the final 66 feet to the finish line where speed is recorded.Stage: to position the front wheels right on the starting line so the small yellow lights below the pre-stage lights are glowing. Once both drivers are staged, the calibrated countdown (see Christmas Tree) may begin.

Turbocharger: an exhaust-driven intake air compressor (see supercharger).
