Really cool car, but can't they find a place to run a 1/4 mile?

Having been to numerous ADRL races (and competing this year in Pro Extreme Motorcycle as a crew member) there is no need to run these in the 1/4. More money, more parts, and would cause more crashes than there already are. These cars are insane and more of a handful to drive than a funny car due to less downforce. No minimum weight, turbo, or supercharged with 70% overdrive, and up to 50% nitro allowed (The NHRA caused this rule because most of the races are at NHRA tracks).
Our Pro Extreme Bikes have no minimum weight, no nitrous limit, no max CC's, and an 11" tire. We are running an 1800cc suzuki. Our best past testing was a 4.21 on a conservative tune at 178mph.
If you ever get a chance to see an ADRL race in person DO IT! You will foget about 1/4 mile and will not be disappointed.

And here you get an idea of size. Our rider is 5'10" and 125lbs suited:). Thats a huge advantage for us. Approx. 20lbs is 1/10 of a second

The cars are so fast many insurance companies wont insure a track that runs them on the 1/4.
The blower cars are stupid fast, it amazes me how fast the pro mods have gotten since i sold mine. I ran a nitrous car and ran 3.99 acouple times, but even nitrous cars are in the 3.70's now
