That is always better cause you get to see some nice ass cars run 10s and 9s all day long. Along with some that run 12s and 13s too. Last weekend (23rd) was awesome. Everyone got about 15-20 time trials in because there were no neons or cavaliers there! Plus there were only about 50-75 cars racing. Even saw a few sleds and a top fuel dragster was there.
I highly doubt there was a top fuel dragster (or nitro car) at rockfalls, that track is entirely to small for those speeds.
Probably an alcohol or methanol rail...

I believe you guys are referring to a guy that lives pretty close to me. It's not a top fueler. It's an alky car. I think he was just there to get it tech inspected. It's his first race car ever. I can't remember what he's running for horsepower. I think he said around 1,200+. My brother knows more about it. He's more friends to him than i am.

You will never see a top fuel dragster run at Rock. There simply isn't the room and the track sucks compared to NHRA tracks. It's rare to even see a Pro Stock car once in a great while there. Many people confuse a rail car for a dragster. Most of those are 8.90 indexed cars. Everyone in that class dials in at 8.90. To me, that's the most worthless class ever created. They put-put so to say to about 60' and then car takes off hard from there. Not a real crowd please without the hard launch.
