Re: Drag racing Enjoy it while you can
We have at least one Friday Night a month Grudge Night. Lots of Street Outlaw Big and Little tire stuff.
Lots of money changing hands at those races.....Just like the Old Street Racing!

It’s the only way I was able to build a Comp car.

One showed up one day and all the people and racers where all over it saying how cool it was and couldn't believe it ran that fast with a stock looking engine. Mike |

I mean I don’t blame them. I still don’t quite understand it all. I’m a first generation racer. I wasn’t brought up around NHRA class Racing. I totally respect it, I’m just not all that excited about it anymore. I was introduced to Racing with heads up, Pro Tree. And I never realized how much I truly disliked NHRA class racing until I owned/drove a “fast” car. And by “fast” I mean so much under this made up “index” that someone came up with. We all kind of lost passion in this type of Racing once we started talking about slowing the car down. Most would be thrilled to have a Comp car that can go almost .90 under. But when the talks are...slowing it down, dumping it early, etc.. Doesn’t even make sense in RACING!! The people/racers are the only reason we are still supporting some of the NHRA races. And the fact that Indy is only 8 miles from our shop. Haha. Crazy to think at age 40 I’m one of the young ones. Haha. Last edited by boostedf22c; 01-22-2018 at 11:06 PM. |

Re: Drag racing Enjoy it while you can
I spend a lot of time here on the west coast. I hear a lot of talk about self driving cars and communicate now and then with an electrical engineer working on the subject at Google. He won't say a word but, I get the impression that the cars are a ways off.
Have another friend working at Flir. Probably need their stuff to make the cars a reality. He also doesn't say much. Pretty sure they will have a few cars in ten years. Then, they'll need buyers. I wish them luck. |
