Its ok  [Posted on 2006-08-31]
After top fuel thunder this ones rather boring ..

Great game for every drag racer [Posted on 2006-11-10]
It is a little hare to work with keyboard. Mouse works better and steering wheel setup should work even better.

This game sucks!!!!! [Posted on 2007-04-09]
I cannot believe NHRA allowed it's name to be used on this game. What a pile of garbage!!!!

Good game for a Drag Racing fan but there are Vista issues [Posted on 2008-02-08]
This game has a bit of an issue with windows vista in that there is no sound. This is due to the fact that vista no longer fully supports directsound as XP and 2000 do. While in most games this just results in the loss of 3d sound effects, unfortunately, in this game, it results in no sound at all. It appears that valusoft, athough seemingly aware of this problem, are not willing to do anything about it in way of a patch so Vista users are stuck with a mute game.

I can't really hold this against the game too much as vista is not officially on the list of supported operating systems and apart from being a bit silent I really enjoy playing this game. There is loads of scope for tweeking the setup and tuning of your car and I've had many hours of fun tweeking things like spark gap, blower overdrive, fuel flow, clutch timings etc. then doing a run and analizing all the data in the form of graphs to see where I can get away with further tweaks and further improve my E.T and Speed. This is what drag racing is all about and I love it, though it has to be said that, if you're not quite such a drag racing nut as I am, the novelty may wear off rather more quickly.

Overall, a great fun game if you're a hardcore drag race fan. Graphics are pretty good if a bit dated but you can't increase the resolution past 1042 x 768 which is a bit of a pain when running on a 1680 x 1050 lcd screen like me, but you get over it. If only I could hear the sound I would give it an extra star.

NHRA QMS - Great On-Line Game [Posted on 2008-05-20]
This game is really great! It's the closest thing to real NHRA professional Drag Racing. The physics and grafix are excellent cause u really get to feel the car when its goin down the track. There's tire shake, tire smoke, dropped cylinders, blower explosions, and of course the best of all the flames all lit when u make a night time pass. There are Top Fuel Dragsters, Nitro Funny Cars, and Pro Stocks with all your favorite drivers from the 2006 NHRA championship. It's a bit difficult to tune these cars but with some practice and some help from other on-line racers you can have a real blast with this game. Remember to install the patch from valusoft and you can go on-line to race with the best.
