If someone tells you that your car is better off going to the road course then the drag strip well they must drive pretty slow at the road course. They must be one of those people who are happy when their car
"handles like its on rails".
Well I guess your totally right I don't know where I got all my imformation from and I deffinitly have no idea how my fenders haven't fallen off yet or my origninal ball joints haven't snaped from the rigors of driving a smooth road course. I am also surprised from leaving a pit lane with a nice low rpm and then gradually building speed hasn't burnt or blow my clutch,pressure plate and flywheel. I also guess my bushing would need to be replaced because I must do more driving on the road course and not the road That is a ghey post, no affence to anyone but if you really really really don't know maybe you really really shouldn't say anything because I am kinda surprised that so many of you drag racers are even talking about road racing on a street racing site kinda fun now I think about it. I remember being told by some knoob on this site a couple years ago how this is a street racing site not a road racing site so anything that a car can do on a road course doesn't really matter.

Oh well funny how things have changed and alot of people are still missinformed about things such as this, ohwell I must be lieing about my car and my experiences on the track(road course)(I know how many of you drag racers like to call a drag strip a track kinda baffles me really)

some of you are :supergay: but don't be because you know you just might be wrong once in a while. anyways have a nice day
