We've had those debates on the other thread. Drag racing is far more likely to break drive line components than a lapping day would. It also requires a fair bit of skill to shift well at high speeds...one 'money' shift and you can kiss your motor goodbye. I'm always embarrassed when Shane has me go out for a street pull--I don't know how to shift like that since I never drive like that.

I've only done one day up at BIR...I took it easy and didn't really use my brakes much, just entered the turns at close to the correct speed to not need them.

I'll be doing auto-x and HPDE this year. I'll go watch you guys drag.

You should try to make the go-kart thing this month...that was fun.
