Larry also had the added pressure of winning 4yrs in a row. By the actual times posted by the winner, Larry could have given a good run for the money and maybe won. Larry was afraid the competition would get ruined by big money guys and competition specific car builds.
Tom Bailey doesnt seem like a big money guy and I bet he has had his car for quite awhile. 6 second street cars, still baffle me, lol. The top drag racing categories dont even race the 1/4 mile anymore as the distance has dropped to 1000ft. They are just too fast to be allowed to run a 1/4. Im not into drag racing but the tech is amazing and does trickle down to the street.
