this is true, even the old timer SCCA autocross guys break seals when it gets too lean for too long.
the drag vs street vs road race thing actually is very important too. in road racing our warmup is 15 minutes, which is actually LONGER than the entire drag racing SEASON.
and street driving is again different, the WOT periods are short, but it needs to sit at idle and low rpm for a long time (traffic), plus mileage is important
there is nothing at all wrong with drag racing, 1000hp 13B is an achievement! it just requires a different engine/tune up etc etc
