Clocks on or Clocks off??? Let’s talk about it! Beater Bomb broke the internet…..🤣

[@BradMalpass1]

Some guys don’t want the clocks on because they don’t want people to know how slow they are 😂

[@taterkuhn5048]

Clocks on n front ends on.

[@slopoke22]

💯 clocks don't really bother me but not knowing what kind of car, half the field is, pisses me off. Yeah I can tell what they are, but damn com'on man

[@johngrabowski2957]

That Cletus race with clocks on, i thought was awesome!!!

[@slopoke22]

Its also prepped and 1/4 mile

[@johngrabowski2957]

@ yep, as a spectator, seeing times added to it. Could just be because we never see em.

[@98saleen]

Clocks on. Go back to how we all grew up admiring the fastest cars at the track! No time is dead. Give the fans a reason to get in the stands and watch the action! All my racing videos I show all my times including timeslips. Rock on John!

[@MrLightning54]

An awesome time flashing on the billboards is super cool imo.

[@kevinshields8278]

I say clock's on, like you've stated most of us know what people run, backside, front side. Then you take no prep cars to timed events, Big tire, radial and in-between, Kye winning Snowbirds with his NPK car which is same chassis and drivetrain of a promod, Tin soldier Charlie Brown and Billy SRC going to the Finals at Cletus race even though there "no prep" cars racing radial prep, the Preston's, Ryan Mitchell, Joey.....the list goes on and on with people that will be fast, the only ones upset with times shown are the slow ones or just straight up Hustler's.

[@williambarger8506]

Kye's car is basically the same, minus one major advantage for a pro mod. Kye's car is no prep kings +/- 1" of factory wheelbase. His car is not stretched, or narrowed in the front. Other that that, I agree with everything you said. Turn the clocks on. Had to point that out, because I think it's a big advantage for a pro mod.

[@jasonshawaga3413]

Clocks on. Serious racers all know roughly what they run and others do

[@brandontittle5762]

Clocks on for the win

[@randythompson6494]

Clocks on,finish line light on,keep the human judgement to a minimum. I mean looking at phones for tire crack,or finishes to close to visually call. I grew up at so cal bracket races and it was interesting.

[@mcilwain67]

I agree turn them on. Racers know basically what everyone is running . It would be more interesting for the spectators and tracks need them.

[@jimmyhou6806]

Look at Charlie Brown and SRC at Cletus Christmas 🎄 race

[@robwigglezz944]

Well the changes made to have enough gear and rpm for quarter mile doesn't compare to their eighth mile setups.

[@obezzyjohnson9680]

Exactly SRC n CB had som great runs

[@TurboJohnRacing]

@@robwigglezz944 no different than being on a different track/surface

[@Ruthless-1699]

I was excited to see an SRC number

[@1uniqueproductions]

You guys have to remember a prep track time and a no prep arevtwo different things. That is what i feel makes the street/no prep racers different. The gamble the hustle. Yes they might have an idea what the cars are running but not exactly.

[@thomasward4505]

I was told that a track owner makes money from Spectators and hardly makes anything from the guys that are racing

[@Wrktrk]

Concessions is where a track makes money.

[@Justin-g5k2i]

Kc Maxx was going , 4.30s in the heat at Shadyside , along with a bunch of others at the last KOTS at Shadyside

[@garylucier6817]

Cletus ran clocks on and filled the stands. It was a terrific race. Randy is correct.

[@SevindeeZ28]

Clocks on absolutely

[@jfarm_1311]

I think at the end of the day racers are competitive. If they need to run a 4.20 they will find a way to do so. Regardless of what time you’re rubbing, you just need to beat the car next to you

[@dwaynesullivan-qo2iz]

Clocks on be proud of what you RUN.

[@johncox6292]

Should be clocks on especially for fans racers will know pretty close to racers times

[@thomasward4505]

If you're at a drag strip with a Timing System the clock should be on and you should always use the lights to start the race

[@ScottCrane-q7i]

I have sat at the big end with a radar gun for yrs

[@NoName-yr1jv]

Clocks on for the spectators and the sponsors 🏦

[@ChambersRacing9862]

Too bad I miss the live stream. But I can watch this type of topics all day!!

[@jamesthetford2516]

😅 John I'm here I think clock on

[@jeremymadej9227]

Clocks on hell, yes!!!

[@KeepGrindingGarage]

Racing has changed so much over the years and you can't please everyone. It doesn't matter if the clock is on or off. I agree so much with Randy. I've so many racers get burned down but the one that burned them down doesn't want the clocks on. Too me that's just a dirty racer and makes people want the lights on.

[@thomasward4505]

It totally matters for The Spectators to have the clocks on!

[@Nobody-ld7mk]

There's No Science without math, I like to see the "Boards On"

[@thomasward4505]

Only reason I can see for not having time shown it's for the people that are betting against each other which doesn't make any money for the track owner

[@DANEAUX]

Racing needs spectators. Streetcars such as myself out biggest events are clocks ON!!

[@Hammerback0]

It would matter if we as spectators watched a full race and all cars that raced ran mid 14s😂. Imagine people setting through a couple of bears bumping in, sounding raunchy, and run a "real" 14. And the racers say they are running 7s, pulling the chutes at the big end, not fast enough to expand the chutes. Everyone would be screaming "CLOCKS ON!"

[@Backyard_Racing]

The spectators wanna see the times and that’s who keeps ALL the tracks open that we ALL race on.

[@jefffunk6034]

As a spectator, i prefer clocks on. Seeing the times/speeds is part of the fun.

[@Justin-g5k2i]

Clocks on , and I'm a slow guy , it's called racing not winning

[@ls_812]

You don't race times. You race the car next to you. But just my opinion. People are allowed to think differently

[@royrichardson9164]

If its a N/T race then clocks off. If you dont like it then dont go

[@daviddaniel144]

It's room for both times on times off

[@KeepGrindingGarage]

Speed cost, how fast do you wanna ride? I learned that a long time ago.

[@garylucier6817]

Yup, just shy of 4 Mississippi's by my count and knew it was 3.80's-3.90's. Just running from jump to finish line light shows that on videos or live.

[@robschneider4239]

This debate is going on up here at MIR NoClock Street. I don't know if it makes a difference at this point everyone has a video recording and a stopwatch. The fan's like on racers seem to like them off 🤷.

[@paulmbylbie6065]

You got to have the clocks on the know if you're making improvement because we all know that seat of the pants feel doesn't always faster times having the clocks on is all about getting the car tune right engine and chassis both

[@chrisnichols8847]

I like both. Depends on the racing.

[@kaedyncopper12]

Great subject 4 a little conversation. I like to see the times,evan more so when the no time cars race a clocks on race.But I still watch no time races aswell,Times,No Times,Drag and Drive I don't care I'm a fan of it all.Thanks Guys.

[@brian03cobra]

Clocks on gives spectators something to "wow" about and we need people to fill the stands to keep the venues open.

[@tommybilbrey1471]

It don't matter but it's people who try to class and grudge also that's where clocks on can be a spoiler like you said it's the hustle

[@davidreed6070]

Our buddy up here will only race no time, of people know he is coming some people wont show.

[@Homegrown4406]

Clocks on ! I hear people all the time saying they don't like going to the track anymore because its all n/t shown .. Sucks for the spectators

[@Justin-g5k2i]

Clocks on keeps the BIG MONEY people in their lane instead of puppy kicking , it's a rich man's game anymore brother , small tire no prep is crazy now , due to the payout

[@sodapop9283]

All the racers should vote on it

[@Justin-g5k2i]

Look at the last Xmas tree race , you had cats that could run 6s in the quarter VS cats that could barely run 8s , and it's nothing to do with knowledge I know guys that can tune and drive with the best of them but don't have the money to build the power they need to have

[@jerrygrubbs6800]

Clocks on so you can tune your car

[@auriceburrell8148]

Its about the fans, there are plenty of events back side, no prep stuff, and event with clocks available should be on, fans go more crazy and get into it😊

[@chrislovett6120]

The clocks don’t need to be on for a 5 second guy to know that’s all he can run

[@damianlindsey6177]

Not all of us can afford to run a "fast" car. 5 second cars are far from slow. Hell my coyote stock style Ranger runs 6.05 but its a completely stock coyote with a g force trans and I am still getting used to this new black magic clutch. Oh, and I can drive my truck to the track and back 50 miles without issues.

[@davebrown2764]

This is the difference between a "RACECAR" and a "car that you treat like a racecar" lol no disrespect, and simply for perspective the drag and drive cars are legit racecar​s that do exactly what your car does except they run high 4's to the 1/8th @damianlindsey6177

[@Wrktrk]

If they do boards on and a paycheck for the first 3 and entry back to say 8th out of 20+ cars will bring in spectators and racers.

[@jameswinegard6641]

Enjoy watching y'all Clock on

[@samdurbin6566]

I really like the idea of BUILT not Bought to a certain extent !

[@davidnewton3485]

Frankenstein is one of the fastest I have ever seen even when tin solders one ..Frankenstein was hauling in on the big end simple as that and a bad track . Always remember SRC s Chanel saying it was in the 170s 8th on the Street. Want to see Randy going to town with that bad boy !!

[@2011Ronc]

How is the dodge coming

[@williamjones1059]

Clocks on ,

[@slows102]

The Canadian guy that won dig or die car is probably 100k

[@damianlindsey6177]

Shit, the Frankenstein Vette is a 100K roller with a 50k+ drivetrain set up. Budget guys in real cars can't compete. Thats the name of the game though. Money makes the world go round but it also ruins everything

[@auriceburrell8148]

Another thing is seeing a whole shot win, we don't know if someone got tree'd kye was a good example of that, won couple rounds leaving 1st but slower time.

[@toddclark332]

Guys always good to see you ok have a great ❤🇱🇷💪 weekend later

[@jamesthetford2516]

Personally I don't think it matters like you said you're either going to spend or win

[@Justin-g5k2i]

No matter how good you are the people with the most money will always be on top , because they got the money to spend to get faster and faster and most of them know what they are doing and can drive

[@TT64NOVASS]

No spectators: clocks off Spectators: clocks on !

[@ChrisMartin-s9g]

clocks on

[@peterivero4337]

Let's the clock speak the truth.

[@tommybilbrey1471]

I have seen it boil down to the driver martin Conley makes clean passes

[@johnchopp3278]

Can’t be the fastest anything with clocks off💯

[@Mattyyoung85]

Everybody wants to go fast but some people just don’t want to put the effort in to get faster .. the fading world has gotten really weird .. I love racing with u guys everytime we are at an event we have some bad ass racing me turbo John Randy Shannon everybody

[@Lloyd973]

No matter how fast or slow you are you still have to race the track. Too much power it goes up in smoke, wheelies,or smokes the tires. Not enough power you loose. Clocks on every time. Run off a pro tree.

[@davidharter7151]

It all boils down to anyone can be beat on any day any surface. You could have the fastest car on the property n doesnt mean crap if it doesnt hook or u red light just means your fast car going back in the box just like slow car

[@larryford9359]

Clocks on.

[@jasoncoates8445]

If race enough you know roughly how fast everyone is

[@GasolineandPistonsForeve-jy7pj]

When are you coming back to Knoxville? Clocks on. Front ends on!

[@88_turbo_fox73]

Ya its so fast now u need a 60k engine at least and a good chassis with 4 link

[@hotrod500hp]

I love drag racing. been to few cool races. if there are clocks, turn them on.,(front side). let the grudge racers have their own race if that makes them happy. Many challenges are far greater than someone knowing your time.

[@AftermathNoPrep]

Turbo john as long as they keep the rules the same 28x10.5 max and no bars.... but I think some people would complain and want 2 different classes with different rules.

[@ScottCrane-q7i]

I can tell you who made the highest mph at dig or die lol

[@melissamcallister2867]

Clocks on specially on no prep

[@shawnhanifan2500]

On. Always On.

[@jamesb5010]

Naturally grudge racers don’t want clocks on. In class racing, if clocks are on, promoters will have to index classes appropriately and of course times will help to do that. If not, clocks on will eventually hurt car count. Once guys find out that they can’t compete, they won’t enter knowing that most likely they’re just donating.

[@tonybatts9811]

On

[@auriceburrell8148]

People that complain need to step it up. We know how fast a car should be for the combination, if you get beat guess your slow.

[@jimmyhou6806]

What ever happened to figuring out how to get by your opponent

[@yorkenworthy]

Now days the RVW & 275 cars are doing 3.60@200 275 cars like Cletus McFarlane in Eagle they’re gonna run 275

[@Wrktrk]

They have so much glue down they can’t shoes on the crew.

[@ls_812]

I dont care too much about clock times. I say only show them a few times a year. Kinda exciting that way

[@nitrochaney1026]

No, it absolutely doesn’t matter. Some racers act like a time is top secret information. Who cares… if you’re fast, everyone is going to know it. You’re gonna run whoever you draw, so it doesn’t matter. Clocks should be on. In fact, it’ll bring out more spectators in my opinion.

[@ThomasWilson-ws2uv]

What you saying John you'll be fast on downhill race

[@Hammerback0]

Amazing that people think these racers are not smart enough to know if they are a contender (if the car hooks) as if TJ or Ryan Mitchell go to any event thinking "there is a twin turbo LS foxbody, on a tire, might as well load up and go home"😂

[@robwigglezz944]

Clocks on are great for showing races won on the tree.

[@ssswdon]

well street racers running for cash and they know beater bomb will show up, they will run away.

[@ThomasWilson-ws2uv]

I heard they were

[@michaelclement9665]

Spectator yes Driver probably not

[@auriceburrell8148]

There needs to be classes for those cars that just aren't million dollar cars. Most guys can put together a small tire car, more affordable chassis, still a good motor and be competitive. Like all sports its not the pros traveling teams, it's the smal guys who keep this sport alive. Yes there are more top of the line cars then ever but not all of us can do that but want to race

[@willyb2412]

It doesn’t bother me either way

[@montecarlo6.0turbo]

We need to go back to roots of racing

[@Backyard_Racing]

I hate I missed this!!

[@2011Ronc]

Billy doesn’t care they ran 694 291 mph at cleetuses Christmas tree racer

[@MidgetPunter]

294? I can tell you no door car is running 294. 6.94@204. Charlie brown ran in the 70s at 208. But those were quarter mile passes and neither car is running 200 in the 8th on a no prep type surface. Its apples and oranges argument.

[@garylucier6817]

201...not 291...lol

[@jasoncoates8445]

If you are a true racer you gonna regardless and you will have to get in wear you fit in like jimmy dale does

[@Memry-dq7ug]

Personally as a spectator I’d like to see times. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Bluecoupe89]

We built a new motor new heads and was told 1 year no clocks on. We said here’s a picture of old motor this is new. Didn’t matter. 4.70s ten years ago single fogger
