Do you really need to go fast to enjoy S,S/S racing?

I've raced pretty fast cars.....I've raced slow(er) cars.......I'll take fast any day of the week. There is no way I would have the enthusiasm to race if I had a slow car. I dislike being way out front trying to find my opponent especially in the dark. Drag racing for me means I have a decent amount of power under my foot......and I way prefer being the chaser......

I prefer races that have two cars fairly close on the race track. A race between a fast and a slow car is not my idea of a good drag race.

Probably the most fun car I can think of to race would be a fast stick shift anything.....might not win anything and the amount of work to race it could be a lot.....but it would be way high on the fun meter letting out a clutch again....

I enjoy a race between a fast car and a slow car.It's just as difficult for the fast car as the slow one to make top end decisions. Why so many have built fast cars,I believe,is the redlight thing. The slower car redlights-the fast car wins. I believe this mentality is hurting S/SS. The fun of these eliminators is the many different cars/trucks that run, be them fast or slow. I say the redlight thing should have been looked at years ago.
