NHRA changed the the traditional yet damage-prone incandescent lights, with led lights.Originally Posted by EJ25RUN
"The biggest advantage is that the vibration, especially that caused by the Top Fuel and Funny Car classes, won't cause the LED bulbs to burn out like it will an incandescent," said NHRA's Graham Light. "Amber bulb failures, especially during full Tree countdowns in the Sportsman classes, lead to re-runs and other problems. We are trying to avoid that problem as well as step up our technology.
"We tested the new bulbs without problem during preseason testing in Tucson," added Light, "but racers attending the Winternationals and subsequent events are advised that the LED lights illuminate quicker, by about three-hundredths of a second, than the incandescent lights."
But don't mind either one
