here is the reply I got. im not sure the reasoning either. kind of a king of the hill kinda deal maybe. the small tire guys are running 1/8th mile, dunno if that changes things or what.
Hey Garret, We turn off the scoreboards so that fans or fellow racers cannot see the times, then when visiting the ET shack we cut the et slips in half so you don’t get to see your competitors ET.
You’ll get a time, but we try to keep it hidden to create the NO ET experience for everyone.
