No, I prefer to autocross or road race. Personally I know my limitations when it comes to drag racing. If I did, I probably would need the trailer more than you think. I have owned one car that I cared to drag race and that was a 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner with a 440 and four speed. I ran average times but man could it handle abuse in a straight line!

Brody:

It was a pleasure meeting you and Kevin yesterday, but I have to admit, it was hard believing that yesterday was your first time drag racing. You seemed very comfortable and handled the car well! Way to represent the group! :cheers:

It was a good day. I enjoyed getting out and meeting a bunch of fellow ZR-1 guys for the first time. It was my first time putting the turbo on the track and I couldn't believe how hard it was trying to get traction. Maybe with a little more practice and a set of Hoosiers, I might be able to get off the line and hold my ground (at least until something else breaks). I ended up cutting my day a little short because my oil return line from the turbo was blowing by the hose clamp. I didn't want to take a chance of blowing it completely off. I only got three runs in but the third one wasn't too bad seeing that I was running street tires. It was addictive. On the way home, all I ould think about is what else I could do and get back out on the track with a bit more success.

As for the tent flying away, there was one casualty, Marc's car got hit and got a pretty good scratch on it. That is a shame. His car looked mint too. Anyways, had a great time and can't wait to get out again.
