I have an issue with you saying "most" of the people here take their dd's to the track. I highly doubt that "most" of the people who frequent this site take their rides to the track every week-end. Maybe I'm wrong. I personally have had my car on a road course only twice and on the 1/4 mile 3 times.
As far as spending a lot of money in my car, I'm still under the price of a Vette with a car that can out perform one.

I take my car to the 1/8th for bracket racing usually once a week (tuesdays) but then one week a month, i go to the 1/4th instead of the 1/8th..i guess you could call mine a DD i garage it from nov-april during the winter and probably put on 40 miles a week when its nice out, but it shares DD duty with my jeep

Out here in California, a Lamborghini Murcielago could be your every day driver as long as it had A/C.

Of course this is my only car. And I did break it on the track last time I raced it, but I was still able to drive my apartment. Drove it to work the next day. And then drove it back to my parents place so I would have a place to work on it during the weekend. Of course during the time I was rebuilding the transmission I had to borrow a vechicle since it took a few weeks.
Now I cant say i dont still go to the track, but I havent raced it since. I have just been working pit crew for a friend. Probly will get to drive it some time, and its got alot more motor than my car.
Plans now is that the stang wont go dont the track till I have a second vechicle.

I drive mine on the weekends pretty much too. I could not imagine driving a 5 speed, loud, stinky gas guzzler to work everyday. I would have to trade in the stang for a nice car if I had to drive normally. I drive a company van all day so I dont have to drive mine.

IMO it's more respectable to have a car that will kill at the track and still is driveable to use for a daily commute and to run errands. What good is a fast car if you can't drive that b!tch on the streets?
