Crankster - I agree that the level of skill is a learned thing and it is different for the various racing formats. But in drag racing as in other racing you NEVER master it. You just learn to sorta control it. As for little girls being successful at the drags, it's PHYSICS. With youth and light weight come reacton speeds, endurance and so on. For that reason I gave up road racing stuff years ago. For that reason they would beat you in twistys too I'd bet. It's hell to get old.
As for the rules changing lately, in my eyes there never was any rules in the first place. What you are talking about there is nostalga.
