Many of the nice low mileage cars that are known including my old A12 were raced a lot for the first few years of their life. The guys who knew what they were doing didn't hurt them for the most part. Take Bob K's car for example. Things can happen but are less likely to be the case at the strip than it would be doing the random road tests that we all do on the street! If you didn't get a chance to enjoy the experience back in the day, this is your chance to enjoy it now. Of course, some of us enjoy just showing and bench racing them too!
