back when I was just starting to drive.

Listen to the et vs mph

The small tracks around here are always hopping. It might not always be big money, but the fun factor is going strong.

Man will ALWAYS drag race.

Exhibit A. BTW this was taken last year. World Cup Finals, MIR

It's my idea they should incorporate a dragstrip into a race-circuit.
You go rounds with your racecar and at some point on the track there's a mile straight.
When you come up racing to it you have to fully stop at the redlights at the starting line, wait for green and run the next quartermile in your best time.
After the quarter you proceed racing the rest of the circuit again...

The first who completes the 20-50 rounds wins....

That will bring the 2 sports together alright I think,
Heck, maybe I should patent this idea and get filthy rich...

around 20 years ago we lost byron dragway in northern illinois for a few years but has reopened and running strong again. i remember pulling up to the track while it was closed and looking down a weed filled track. hard site to see after doing alot of racing there as a kid in the 70s. i try to make it there a few times a year in support of the track. SUNDAY!! SUUUNNDAY!!!!

I wish it was going down hill... Then my car would be faster!

It is just way too expensive for the working class sportsman racer anymore. Sure not like it was in the early-mid 60's when I first started playing in the sport. Maybe that's it. Maybe it is not a sport anymore. Look what's happened to baseball and football in the same period. Green $$$ are all that matter. I still love it though.

When I read the title - the first thing I thought was Cecil County.
