RE: Drag Racing
i race on school grounds doring recess in the fog during parents back to shcool day with bald tires and my lights off with my eyes closed smoking a cigar with 40 lbs of explosives in the trunk with no life insurance no legs and a broken brake line that i fixed with scotch tape all while eating a number 6 spicy shicken sandwich from wendeys that had mold on it cause i was to drunk to eat it when i bought it a week before. what where we talking about anyway dont you hate when you have a cramp in your leg when your having sex and then you just work through it cause you want to be impresive instead of doing what you want to do and get up, take a break and walk it off. you know what else grinds my gears is when you stand in line then someone asks you if you are standing in line and all you want to do is say no, let them in front of you then kick the back of their knee so they fall down some, then push them over and ask them if they are laying on the ground. im done, what, nothing

the cops shut down a road around where i live so people can race in a controlled area. they turn this place into the dragstrip when the strip is not open. sometimes there are as much as 30 different cars there, but nobody there to just watch

RE: Drag Racing
JD 1969, don't get all so worried, I do go to races to have, join in the B.S. and if I can get past the first round, good.
When I said I must be more serious than some, I was writing of my on-going efforts and always trying to make the car better & better like plenty of other folks do on this site.
If any ones wondering, I do NOT have some 20-60K race car either. I do have one with less than $6K in it. Don't even know if I would want an expensive car built in someone's shop.
Looks like timeslips are probably still several months off as I see a conflict with work coming up (eck) and I still want to do some rear suspension work and maybe even paint the car......

RE: Drag Racing
I would love to street race if I lived in an area where there was some competition on the street. I live in West Pam Beach Florida and when I am driving my GT I just never see anything on the road worthy of racing. Maybe I need to find the local hangouts where people go with their cars looking for a race (if there is such a place). Years ago (30 to be exact) I lived in Dayton Ohio and there was plenty of street racing opportunities and in fact I won enough money with my 68 Z28 (had 454 motor) to pay for the car and all the work I had done to it. There doesn't seem to be those opportunities here. Maybe its just a sign of the times....

RE: Drag Racing
the Taco Bell near me is the "local hangout" on Friday and Saturday nights around 11 o'clock. I havnt raced anyone from there but i watch a lot of them, these 2 Super Charged Camaros own the place.
