I went the other way, started 1/4 mile racing and started driving track cars.

My money says he'll be bored with drag racing rather quickly. Don't get me wrong, I love drag racing and continue to do it, but once you've been behind the wheel of something for sometimes HOURS at a time (compared to 9 or 10 seconds) it's hard to get the same amount of satisfaction.

I miss my late model shaw, i started 1/4 mile also and running heats and features is alot more fun than say 2 or 3 passes down the strip in one night but we do what we gota do, after the L/M class was discontinued i ran my shaw car on the drag strip, moved some weight around and bolted a 727 and a 340 and used 31x13 dirt tires mounted on 14x15 MRT carbon fiber wheels, car weighed 2500lbs and ran mid 10s in the 1/4 and 6sin the 1/8. it hooked up ok with the 4 bar and the quik change worked good too. Your friend should try it People (drag racers) dont know what to think of it till they see it run.I had 3500in the shaw car and 4-5 grand in the motor and tranny. thats pretty cheap to be going that fast.
