- Breaking out: Losing because you ran faster than your Dial In time
- Burning out: Smoking up your tires in an effort to warm up the rubber for better traction.
- Dial In: Quarter mile time that you say you will hit. If you run faster than your Dial In then you’ll break out and lose.
- Drag Radials: DOT approved tires specially made for drag racing. These tires have poor tread life and have horrible wet traction however it is legal to drive on the street with them. Popular Drag Radials include: BF Goodrich G-Force T/A, Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial, Nitto NT 555R, and Goodyear Eagle SS. BFG Drag Radials come in up to 18″ diameter!
- Deep Staging: Rolling past the PRE-STAGE lights so only the STAGE lights are lit. Technically you are now closer to the finish line however you don’t get as much of a “running start.” If you’re a beginner at drag racing, it may also be easier to red light if you’re deep staging.
- Hole Shot: The racer with the better reaction time has the Hole Shot because they have a better chance of winning.
- The Line: The starting line of the race track.
- Red Light: Losing because you left the starting line before the green light was lit (forward or backward.)
- Reaction Time: The time it takes for you to leave after the green light drops. Perfect reaction time is .000
- Slicks: Tires specially made for drag racing and not for street use. Must be heated up with a good burnout before they get sticky.

(My client has an Acer 4810TZG laptop running Win 7 Home Premium) Win 7 and IE are fully up to datre. If I run IE and then close it down, the shortcut icons on the desktop no longer ligp in response to the mouse / trackpad, nor do the shortcuts work. However shortcut icons in the taskbar continue to work normally. Likewise shortcuts from the Start Menu also work fine. The programs also once loaded work normally. If I drag an icon from the Start Menu onto the desktop it appears but it still doesn’t function. The only way to get desktop icons to work normally is to reboot!! Suggestions please?

LOL is that what you young people would say in this cases? Hello there, i’m a 84 years old grandfather and I’ve just found this website in my browser history. My nephew used my laptop the last time he went here, I believe… he says LOL pretty often but I’ve started to undertand what it means only recently but he’s a good boy after all. Keep doing your best guys, Internet is a real blessing and you have no idea how lucky you are. Best wishes by a old man commenting for the first time
Thanks for the interesting content!!!
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
Now I am not certain I totally agree with you on this post. Then again I am normally open to innovative ideas. Probably will have to feel about it. Nice site incidentally.
I just needed to say that I found your blog via Goolge and I am glad I did. Keep up the good work and I will make sure to bookmark you for when I have more free time away from the books. Thanks again!
