Yea, I have been around drag racing for two years now. I used to dis drag racing all the time, trying to explain that driving in a line isnt hard...I used to wanna do club racing...but honestly, drag racing is actually a sport that takes skill, and I give the pros a lot more credit now then I used to. I still think that road racing would be more difficult...but I have tried both, and I just love being thrown in the seat and having complete control of all the power, lol. I also enjoy the One on One competition you get in drag racing, its nice to know you actually built something and did something better then somebody else. I'm not tryin to say I have a big head about it though..I'm not a ricer, there is always somebody faster or better, and i'm just in it for fun & $$$.
BTW, if you get your FD done for MADS, I wanna see some of your trained driving skills
Hell, I'll probably need some pointers..its been a long time since I've raced something fast(sidenote back to the accent )

I wonder how my car would have been with the convertible rims and my 225/50/15's? I think they're half as heavy as the 18's with 275/35/18's.
