could someone tell me what the big hang up is about 1/4 mile numbers? on the street ,where we all seem to drive on a regular basis, is nothing like the track. racing is not usually staged, but often just getting beside someone( brand x usually) and going , either from cruising speed already, or from some kind of rolling start. either way, without some serious traction aids(really sticky tires,good suspension mods) the 60 foot is lack luster at best on radials on a dusty street. so winning is more about power. i prefer to beat something by out powering it, pulling away with you both moving already, mashing the throttle down and seeing who's got the power!is this not a better feeling to out power a ram air trans am or ss camaro? to watch the smug stupid look on there faces go sour when they watch you pull away from them as they try to find more pedal and dont get enough to catch up is priceless. just a few thoughts on racing on the street.
