x2. I couldn't explain it any better for myself.


How can you guys not relate to 8 cylinder, NA, manual with a clutch, rear wheel drive, 4 link cars?

The multi million dollar effort is WHY it's so cool to watch. The normal stuff we all do we can all see every friday night, at every local strip, or in our own garages.

Can you relate to Top Fuel?


Top fuel is for kids and people (usually not car guys) who just like to see it in person for the wow factor.
I like small tire street type cars. Pretty much anything else doesn't get much attention from me...save for a few exceptions.
The "normal stuff" at local tracks is much better IMO.

Maybe it's just me, but I like to keep up with racing that at least looks like it's something I could get into and compete.
