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!

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.
