On NHRA Pro Stock cars what is the little thing on the window that the Crew chief pushs after the burnout??
On the TV coverage they show them all the time pushing it in, but i have never haerd them say what it is.
Its just a window latch. It just secures the door for aerodynamics. It keeps the door pulled in tight to the body since they want to flex out at high speeds.
The computer is usually activated at the rear of the car just before launch, the guy that looks like he sneeking around the back of the car is the one activating it.

Why is there hardly any questions about Drag Racing?
Why so few questions about NHRA, IHRA and other smaller associations of drag racing?
I don’t know! You would think there would be a million of them. Especially pertaining to bracket racing(handicap racing) because it’s the only motor-sport in the world were you can take your wifes minivan, pay your 25 bucks and race and win a trophy. Bracket racing is based on consistancy.
My home track, Gateway, is EXTREMELY competitive. The average reaction time in Saturday night point’s racing is .020 seconds.
I race a ’69 Camaro and have made it to the final’s only twice and lost both times.
You must know things like the distance between the stage and pre stage beams, the height of the finish line beam so you can determine if your tire or front spoiler is setting it off(it’s higher than the stage beams), what effects FRONT tire pressures play on your reactin time’s, where to stage, driving techniques(if your the faster car you start to move to the inside and if your slower you move toward the wall), you have to have a weather station and a log book and log every weather condition of every run with timeslip.
Both times I lost I spun the tires a little and ran slightly slower and gave the guy the stripe. I finally learned you have to short shift to slow your car down slightly every single pass you make because the next time I’m in the final and spin, I’ll be long shifting at the optimum shift point to make up the little bit of time I lost spinning.
As far as ‘heads up’ racing like the NHRA top series, I think anybody that thinks racing the fastest accellerating cars in the WORLD isn’t real racing is a fool. I’ve been to 14 national NHRA events so far.
