Racing fuel isn't street legal so I feel pump gas cars should be the only ones that qualify for "street legal" events. Says right on the pump where we get our 110, "Not for highway use".
no where does it say "not for highway use" on alcohol  j/k

I don't have a fast street car but I would say 30-50 miles street cruise with stop and go traffic in the summer,not in the fall.After the cruise fill up with 93 at an AMOCO/BP then head to the track with no hood opening and then hot lap them. All the cooling down and opening the hood and adjustments really isn't in the spirit of a TRUE street car. Some folks think that a street car is one that can drive 10 miles to a hangout and then make it back home  And have a power adder class and an N/A class.

Amazing how some only consider there car a street car, and no one else has one. If the car has current registration, and can drive to town to get ice cream it's a street car PERIOD. Who cares if it can make it 30-100 miles. When I did drive my GTX on the street, I had no reason to drive it that far one way.

Exactly, the furtheset i ever drove my 64 was about 12 miles. Im sure it could go more, but after 15 minutes i want out. If i need to go a long distance I will take a car with A/C a stereo and comfortable seats.
In God we trust, all others pay cash.

You guys with your 12 and 15 mile street-car "drivers" are "killing" me ! I saw MANY TIMES .. the KING of the street-racers(The Silver Bullet/Jimmy Addison) ... BEAT many cars that were CLAIMED to have been "streeters" .. but he took them out through traffic, by the police station AND out on the freeway !! SOME TIMES as many as 50 miles ! .. His most famous "victim" was Andy Mannarino and his mid-9 second Camaro. Ole AM's motor was so loaded-up - he wanted to change plugs on the side of 696 at 2am in the morning ! B U T ...if you guys want to stick with your deal ... WHERE does all that shuck-and-jive end ? .. are you going to throw some plates on a Pro Mod car ?

You guys that have to drive a Muscle Car long distances to feel good about yourselves, or have to tell guys that their car doesn't fit your definition of "street car" are killing me........BIG DEAL......Your car can do what my wife's minivan can do......WOW, that's impressive.........YOU DA MAN!!! 
.........and what octane was in Jimmy Addison's "pump gas" car???  
I'm the same way.....I don't LIKE to drive my car for more than 15 to 20 miles.......so why build my motor to run on and put the crappiest minivan propellant ever known to man into my hot rod??? That's like putting a jet motor into a P51 Mustang......sure, it's more practical, but who wants practical??? It's just as dumb........ People walk past a sea of practical cars just to look at, listen to, and enjoy the impractical cars.........
Having said that, I HAVE driven a 19,000 mile, original, high compression Max Wedge Dodge from Tulsa, Oklahoma to Topeka, Kansas (4 hour drive one way) on RACE GAS, filled up at the track during an NHRA national event, drove around all weekend, filled up at the track again and drove home and even go rained on, just to prove to the idoits at home that the car could do it and WAS a STREE CAR even if it did run on race gas............so anyone that says you HAVE to run on pump gas for it to be a "street car" is just trying to make themselves feel better about themselves..........
BUT, to each their own.......I don't get on here and laugh at you because you like that (until now).......if that's what floats your boat, have at it......
