chuckmynatt - You got it right ALL the way, including nascar.
Guys don't realize just how damned hard it is to hit a 1.3- 60ft. time(.02 react) and still only do 110mph. Guess all of those high dollars drag driver schools are a total waste of money and those guys don't know nothing.
Crankster- Whether you like it or not, (and I know you don't) the real reality is that the quarter mile talk will always be more popular than any other racing format because it is most like how most folks drive their cars every day, regardless of make. That's why hot rodding continues to thrive. That, and it's easy to get into it, esp. at a young age. It's not that I'm saying that it's all right either btw.
Like it or not there is a place for some of the street stuff that goes on. Mind you I don't approve of it either all together, but I'd also be lying if I said I didn't pull a blast or two on the street. Looking at it as most do I think, it not about WHAT you do out there so much as HOW you do it. It's been my experience in dealing with Judges that this is usially the overriding factor that weighs in too.

I have no use for the I know better than thou crowd, and the I'm more quilified than thou crowd because I took X crowd. Because in the final analysis they are are not neither.
