Pro ET down to 8.50 for 2021
Discussion
Hello DragHeads,
I was a bit surprised when I looked at the eurodragster.com post about the upcoming MSA season,
it seems UK P/ET is now running in an 8.50 to 11.99 bracket.
On one side I can see / guess where this is coming from : racers with a car that is tagged to 8.50 specs,
who want to be the "top dogs" in P/ET instead of the slow guys in SP/ET having to get off the line first, mostly,
only to be caught JUST before the stripe by the quicker car.
On the other side I think a 3,5 second gap between the fastest & slowest car could be more dangerous at top end,
with the closing speeds of both cars having a huge difference.
I do not think any of the "continental" tracks will change P/ET from 9.00 to 8.50, but I have doubts anyway
that lots of racers will go through the carnet ( and maybe quarantine ) hassle just for "sportsman racing abroad",
which is a sad perspective to me.
