I don't race I'm just an exibitionist,,,,,,,,,,,,,WANNA SEE

I’m busted.... I just air brushed this picture of this Dodge over my 64 Corvair

I'm your Huckleberry

I fall into the been racing for years group and even tried to get away from it but it's something that just gets under your skin.You like to get a self best ET/MPH and then saying i can do better.I have many good wins but never won a points series.Besides it's only a Aspen

I haven't made a pass in 3 years, it's not cheap starting from scratch.

I usually hit the track 4 to 6 times a year with the Satellite for TnT. Last year ran in two races. Won three rounds in the big Labor Day weekend race. Had a great time.

This last season, only to Byron twice. Working on the Valiant so i can get serious next year.

guys, very impressive credentials for sure.....But not my original intention when starting this thread.

i dont even need to answer this krap LOL

I have been racing my street/strip GTX 6-10 times a year...until this year! Due to health reasons,only got out twice this year! Hopefully,next year will be busier!

I actually race a car or two, actually work at a drag strip...
Have my opinions on topics here and post sometimes, not always the popular opinion, but appreciate that I am allowed to voice my opinion.

this is the race section, not RACER section... you dont have to drive a car down the track to understand racing, BUT just like everything in life you have know it alls and people that pat themselves on the back.

you just have to take it with the good.

No, no, no. You're racers. Racing on an index, is drag racing 101. It's also why I am suspect of the "heads up" deal. If it truely is heads up, stage, let go of the button, and let the chips fall. But no, there are all types of rules that equal bracket racing dial in's. I don't get it.

I'm clearly not a race every week kind of guy, but I do like to race once in a while. Just test and tunes or Friday nights. I think I only had 18 passes this year. A couple more last year.

I have owned and raced the same car for the past 27 years...a few bracket wins in the early years, probably 25 passes a weekend street racing in the 80-s.

The car today is quicker in th 1/4 then in the 1/8 back then.

Wow, 3 pages of replys...anyone admit to NEVER going to the race track and only being a keyboard racer?

I consider myself to be a racer in training... looking to learn as much as i can, i want to go to the track more, but life gets in the way. working night shifts and never seeing the family, the wife wants me around on the weekends instead of at the track...especially when I lose 1 weekend a month to the reserves as well. I've made maybe 20-30 passes down the track total. 1 race and 2 TnTs.

went to a car show at a track, had a race too, it was my first time at any track. my car was slower than a honda civic, but I went 5 rounds without a clue as to what i was doing! I ended up breaking out because I just wanted to go fast! the other guy broke at half track and I knew it/heard it, but I never lifted at the line, so I broke out by .004 from that point on, I was hooked, and knew i wanted to do a lot more of that!

I'd goto the track if someone buys it and opens it again....It's up for auction on Dec 14th, Anyone want to own Memphis Motorsports park???? I moved 2 miles away from it and it closed. I've had my Charger to TNT once many years ago (w a weak 440) and am dying to go again with the Hemi.

I'm trying to race a car but time/work is holding me up in a big way. The only "opinion" you will get out of me is concerning something I have some experience or information I have gathered.

That said, there are many inspiring people here that are fun to watch and interact with.

I have heard several people in this forum ambiguously speak of people that "don't race and contribute" in a negative manner. I hope I'm not one of those people that doesn't belong here. If so say the word and I'll stop posting completely.

That said, if you are going to call some people out go ahead and just get it over with. Make a list or whatever, but don't be passive-aggressive about it. Be up front and get it out of the way for the sake of your own interests.

I wish I was a retired rich guy!

I do agree that there is more to the car then just the driver, its hard doing it all.

If I could find a full time driver id love just to do the rest.

I will post when I have questions or experience with a topic. Try to help others from making my mistakes.
I have a few passes now, 1 win (too long ago), and made it into the nines this year. I like to think I am a rescuer/owner/builder/driver.
