Aaaaaaahhhh......drag racing returns :)

[JC]

Wish I was in Pomona this weekend.....I miss the smell of race gas, and the burning eyes and lungs from nitro exhaust 🙂

Wow, 6.81 bump in Pro Stock! 😕

My gosh how I wish I was near a dragstrip 🙁

 

[NutBucket]

Yeah, in retrospect I should have gone to at least see some racing. Oh well, there's always later in the year. Gotta love the fact we get two events at Pomona.

Still got 2 month's before anything opens here 🙁

and the ground and the grandstands are shaking and the hot rod is just idling..

then they gas it and you think the earth is going to explode.

[CraigRT]

Dragstrip won't open for a few more months here. We are rebuilding the motor for the dragster right now and making a few changes😀

Drag racing isn't a real sport. It doesn't take any skill to drive a car in a straight line at 330mph. Real racing has turns. you should come watch me and my friends drive our civics between cones in a parking lot. That's REAL racing. Drag racing is for poser rednecks.

I disagree, competition is extremely tight and there is no room for error. So what if I'm a redneck!

Well, the comparison is, Drag racing is something EVERYONE can go enjoy on a friday night for $20, most other racing is just a bunch of talk.

A weekend of road course racing is $75 for average entry fee alone, racing tires usually only last 2 or 3 weekends so thats a bundle, plus it's EXTREMELY rough on the rest of the car.

LOL, man that's gonna be like slow-mo compared to what you are used to... time to go get a 7.3 Powerstroke Crew cab, stick a 90HP chip and a propane injection on her 😉 😎

Nah, I think it's racing. It's real racing too. I think the competition isn't as much in the driving though as the tuning. I love more the technical aspect it all so the raw power of a drag racer is amazing.

I put a big "Powered by Honda" sticker on the windshield, so now it's a Civic.
