what does losing a cylinder mean in drag racing?
It"s a common occurrence in the alcohol cars and often the car that loses the cylinder manages to win.
Losing a cylinder means that something has happened a cylinder in the engine. Thrown a rod, broke off a valve, lost spark to the cylinder, broken spring...quite a few reasons. You can tell on ESPN HD coverage and see the cylinder that goes out as raw fuel comes out the headers from the broken cylinder.
The reason in drag racing that a car that loses a cylinder can win the race is because chances are that car has built enough of a lead to not be able to be overtaken in the last few hundred feet of the race.
That lead can be built from a quicker reaction time to the lights and running a slower ET (elapsed time) than the opponent, known as "winning on a holeshot".
Also, a car that loses a cylinder could win if the opponent "goes up in smoke", losing traction and having to get in and out of the throttle to make it down the track. While fighting to get traction, the wounded car could take the lead.
