That's pretty funny I run my car exactly the same at the track as I do on the street. Of course the street is traction limited off the hit, ya got to feather the throttle a little. I'm just sayin it's alot easier driving to a back road for a little tnt than it is to pay an entry fee buy food gas etc, Only to have wasted a day. Just my opinion

Now if it was a drag only car w no tags gutted no exhaust etc. then I guess the track would be the only place to work out bugs. As far as it not being smart ! at least you wouldn't have been out that money. And a low 11 sec car should definatly be able to hook on the street. It sounds like it starts to break up at the eigth mile. Surley there's that much room on a back road around DC.

I just have to sit n laugh when a car starts to break up in the burn out box and can't even begin to make a full pass. Pretty much everyone is like wtf did they even bother driving the car before bringing it to the track!
