Went down to Ennis Saturday for the NHRA qualifying rounds. There was some major horsepower at that place! It was awesome. One thing is bugging me though and maybe someone can shed some light on what was going on.

During the Top Alcohol Drag/Funny Car (it may have been the Sprt Eliminations) it seemed that the cars came off the line full power then slowed down and then after about 100-150 ft turned the power back on.

Can anyone enlighten me?
