The people.......the people I have met at the track....the people I have met building my car....and the people I have met here and on other racing websites. Drag racers are the best people in the world. I would be surprised if I didn't know a racer in every state in this country and in a good part of Canada that would put me up for a night and that I would do likewise.

I love construction of things. I also love the smack talk from the streets to the track nowadays.

What I have noticed is that the main reason that we all have this need to go fast, then faster and then be the fastest (which there's no such thing because someone else just upstaged you) is that it all takes a seat to an age old human trait, Problem solving.
Problem solving is what it's all about. And problems need company which leads us to needing one another to figure it all out. Sure I love the smell of Cotton candy race gas, I love the design lines of the Mopars and other cars, and the line where it all starts and finishes, but it is problem solving that keeps me in the mix.

We think alike............... I first agree about the(mostly)good people which makes it nicer and easier to focus on the goals for that given day that we hopefully set for ourselves. NOW, the problem solving part as much of a pain as it can be it sure is rewarding when the stars align and we meat our goals, nothing breaks and we make it home safely. Good stuff............

Its a good question. The only thing I've come up with so far is, the glory, the payouts, and the groupies. (not necessarily in that order)

If I come up with anything else, will update

Because we have no grey matter left. And the pure competition of putting the car together, then winning against people that have more money and make more passes. Also all of the friends I have made, being able to spend lot of time with my kids involved when they were growing up. I wish I could kick the speed addiction though.....too much fun.

Bill those that never get to experience racing JR's with their kids will never understand. the 8 years we spent traveling around and racing the JR cars are with out doubt the most fun I have ever had racing.
