Not to mention Im also obviously having a blast!
I guarantee I'll be out in a "road race/trackday car with you guys in the future, but right now this is what im focusing on. Most important its the "bonding" with friends old and new in the pits no matter what kind of racing it is.
What he said!! In drag racing you ONLY get one chance to get it right!! Racing is racing and it's ALL GOOD!!The Gov cup was one race i regret not racing at.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

Really nice car Steve! Much like yourself been an avid Drag Race fan for years. Have quite a few friends that run at the same level as you. My pocket book can't support it but it's fun helping them out (and help spend their money!! ) Ran B/A in Comp Eliminator as well as A Gas at the Goodguy events. It's always a great time and eveybody for the most part is like one big family. Congrats again!

Totally! And I still love drag racing... wasn't putting it down at all... I was just saying that I like the longer seat times of road racing now that I've had a taste of it.

Just saw that about a week ago, how about that!
Just got back from the March Meet last night. Qualified good with a 7.62 but lost in the second round. After a huge holeshot, thought I had it in the bag and lifted to soon, arghhhh...I'll be beating myself up on that one for awhile! It was a long ride home.
