Re: Drag racers? Any of you here?

Automatics shouldnt even be considered drag racing? Might as well have a driver like nascar! How fun is it to brake and gas? I just dont see the point in automatics and racing? Might as well stick to dyno #s...

And shiny parts!

Yes. That is exactly why we switch to auto, for the higher dyno #'s!

Unfortunately though I didn't have the cash for the cage this winter though so I think it will be a case of No Cage = No fun for me.

I thought it was easier to launch my 5spd car than my auto car. Spooling the turbo in prestage and then rolling ahead just enough is not a no brainer to do without red lighting.

Ive gone 3 times per summer including MAP's event the last 2 years. I plan on hitting up grove creek a few more times this summer since it is closer to me and alot of fun.
