Drag.
I'm way to "competative" to be on a round track where I can "bump" others

I love both, I like to watch the 1/4 mile sprint to see who has the absolute most power, but then I like watching 30 laps of dirt racing. Its not all power, in some cases we only use a small portion of whats available. Track conditions, and set up are key. You either guess perfect, or completely wrong. Very seldom do you nail it every night, and in some cases the track goes away, or come in to your car. Its great fun, and I have to say DIRT oval, and Drag are the best. NASCAR, that is just a joke...

I was dedicated to Drag Racing for the better part of 35 years. I started to pit crew on a friends IMCA style modified after I retired and am having a ball. Best of both worlds? You bet!

Pretty cool stuff there Rick!
Thanks Walt....The racing was fun....just Hobby Stock...we won a ton of races and were quite frowned upon mainly due to the fact we had the money to run good parts (mainly safety related) but it didn't sit well with the other racers
I had no less than 7-8 Monte Carlo bodies out back and every week we came looking like new...just the way we did things.
I remember the track owner "RED" asking us once if we could just slow down enough to at least make it look like it was hard.... My partner "John DiBurrough" did most of the driving....the guy was deadly and the car was set up well....I did my share of driving, but John was the Champ
