Great, parental advice from a bunch of 20-somethings, except for old Kracka. :-) I had a 14-second car when I was in HS, I raced everybody and never lost to anyone my age. You don't know his kid, so don't bother with the advice unless you're a parent yourself.

That being said, some good tuning and race gas will get you there. You might need some sort of fuel control if you don't have something already.

drag racing at 16 sounds like a good father son thing to do.
just make sure that you are letting your son know its better to race his car on the strip and have nothing to prove on the street.
hell if i had a fast car id carry around my time slips from the track and when somone wanted to race id say hey look at these slips prove you actualy race your car legaly and meet me at the track other wise shut your mouth.

and throw a beeoch at the end of that.

anyway id rather help my son build up a fast car and participate with him in legal races than have him go out and do it on the street like all these dumb ass honda boys out there

i got video of me in my gd bonneville smokin honda ass all over the place at the drag races 2 weeks ago but i got owned by every dsm i came up against.

time to get intense on my bonne then ill run with the dsm's if thats cool with you guys?

Get your kid's car going as fast as you and he want, but keep his racing on the track. Put down firm rules that he will not have the car any longer if he's caught fucking around on the street. We don't need to have a news headline from him.

I get accused for driving like a grandma on the street. The very reason for that is I have one speeding ticket 9 years ago when I was 19 and I promised myself I would never get another. I autocross enough that I don't feel the need to mess around on the street.

HAHA @ X-Rated! Who knows if they are still around, but I've heard Tyler is out of it. They may still be reppin' the mean streets of St. Cloud.

I was racing at the track with my dad when I was 15 in his 67 cougar that ran mid 12's with street tires that would not hook up
