If people think that it is just a rich persons game a these Drag and Drive events, you couldn't be further from the truth. Most of them are simple blue collar workers. MOST do all the work on the cars themselves, and I mean ALL the work. The are ambitious people. They don't sit around and wait for others to do things for them. Mark, the guy that won Hot Rod class at Drag Week this year, has very little money into his 8 second truck, built from swap meet parts. He told me his daily driver is a rusty old truck with 500K on it, and not worth $500. These people sacrifice a lot of things others have/do, just so they can attend these events. You would be surprised how many cars arrive on open trailers. Richard Giudo DROVE his car from Canada, to Florida for the start of Sick Week. He isn't the only one.

Can't work on the car between tracks, or it's not a street car? PLEASE... I have to work on my s#!tbox daily driver once in a while. Just because YOU are not willing to do the things these people are, don't assume they are not street cars. This isn't the Fastest Daily driver competition.

Get out in the garage, get your car running, and stop being a armchair quarterback.

"Street" cars arriving on open trailers, is that how street cars drive, that's supposed to be impressive?

Guy driving from Canada to Florida... yes, 1 legit street car out of how many... also how many valvesprings/lifters he go through?

So your not impressed... No one that goes to these events cares if your impressed. If you don't like these events, why do you continue to follow this thread? When is the last time The Haze ran? 20 years ago? That doesn't impress me.

LOL! My street car still gets trailered to the track. Why? I'm spoiled and like A/C, a popup tent for shade, minibike, cooler, tools...

Not sure why you have such a disdain for a trailer?

I don't have a problem with people trailing their cars to regular track events; but when it's an event centered around these cars being "street cars" and there's a whole part of the competition about the cars driving from track to track on their own power, but they show up to the event trailered... just undermines the whole point of the event

Everyone has there own opinion about what a "street car" is. That will never be settled. To some, a 30 mile drive proves it. For those who do Drag Week stuff, 800 + miles in a week is proof. To others, you have to drive it to work every day, all winter.

There are a few of us who drive to this type of event and back home....but we're not generally driving the quickest cars.

Maybe you could give it a try, see how quick you can go in a car you can drive there and back. Go quicker than 10.0, I'll give you a lot of respect.

Well some folks participate in motorsports some set on the sidelines and tell us all how it should be done. Nothing new been going on since time began.

*shrug* maybe those people would participate if the competition and what it presents itself as made sense.
