Default What’s a holeshot win?

Just been watching NHRA drag racing and they talk of a holeshot win.

What is this?

Cheers
John

Yes they will, cause as im loading it onto the back of a lorry and the police arrive and ask if its my car, I will say "no it belongs to my good friend Lee Manning, he has leant me it, here are the keys *give keys*" but being a shonky old ford it wont start, so im just towing it away to get it fixed.

It will then be back at my place and up and running on autronic and ready for sheady to map in no time

The US Army car got 4.428 in a recent event, race 23, the final in the NHRA series,
It won't be televised on Five U.S for another 17 weeks at least as this weeks was race 6.

.That's 4.428 secs to cover 1/4 mile.

And the drivers name was..

Entering the final needing to win the race with a pass quicker than 4.437 seconds, Tony Schumacher and crew chief Alan Johnson delivered with a stunning 4.428 at 327.98 mph
