Chevelle Rob, That driver in the video is amazing!! There are times on our dirt track where something happens and we have to keep it off the wall like that.

I have to be honest, I expected more of a scuffle on this thread about drag racing being better and vice versa. But from what I am reading, the two different areas of car racing DO have Many things in common. When it comes down to it, it's all about making your car faster and beating your competition.
I must assume the comraderie is the same as CT racing also. On the track under the helmet, you will slaughter your own brother, but off the track you'd help your arch rival get his car ready for the main.

I also must admit I had forgotten that ever since people have had cars they have been tweaking on them to make it faster than the next, and I assume drag racing was the first form of a test.

My personal opinion is that CT racing is more fun. The reason I say this, is because if your competitive, you can run side by side with someone for lap after lap. Literally a couple inches from them. When I think about drag racing, I completely understand the mechanics and what it takes for you to be competitive. but when the race lasts less than 20 seconds, it seems to me that it sure takes a lot of work for such little racing time.

In closing I would like to make it clear, I may from time to time try to rattle your cages, but I would NEVER expect you to take my digs seriously. As Joe Racing Dad Webb has stated, Racing is Racing. It's all about Fun and beating the Next guy.
I get it.....some people have skill to drive straight, others have refined and honed their skills to a higher level and choose to race on circle tracks!!

Thanks Again for the Responses.

P.S. dolladolla and kbro.....Get a Room already!!! your making us californians look bad!!
Get me on a good cart track and this "drag racer" will clean your clock, you guys can't turn right.
