i just feel if your racing,why not go fast.
Simple. They dont get cheaper as they get faster. 
For some folks money is no object... and going fast is what racing is all about (oh- and wheelies too)  
could we please leave the politics out of this .
i was ordered by the president to stimulate the economy.
i would just like to see some faster cars win the big $$$$. thats all
please actionange no drama 
sounds like a winner to me, how fast can you make my car go  sponsorship available

how fast were those cars, they seemed to be a little slow,especially the red lite bandit!
He might have been dialed faster then you?? I think I heard 5.8x? He lifted soon as he saw red..

The way I think of it, the race is over as soon as somebody red lights
and of course there are always exceptions. My buddy redlit in Top Sportsman against Ronnie Davis who was dialed 6.54. Ronnie never saw red ran it out got squirly and crossed the centerline giving the win back to Mike Thompson!!

you all need power adders to go fast, NOS, Turbo's,blowers,etc.
i like natural aspirated, the real way to go fast,
anything else is just cheatin imo.
if i put a turbo on mine, i wonder how fast i'd go.

A turbo on your car would make so much power you would probably be afraid to drive it.
I like (and own) NA cars too, but you are severely tunnel visioned if you can't see the appeal of a turbo motor.
