the reason why you cant drag race in the wet is because were laying down some real power:D too dangerous:cool:

Real car guys race no matter what conditions lay ahead, the track is out right boring I'd have to say, I can't stand street legals because they let older hotrods run open headers & cars like ours they won't even let us open the cut-out :(

and as for real racers race in whatever wheather...... you wouldnt be saying that when you hydroplane into the wall at the top end with your foot to the floor. or try and launch some hp, its hard enough to keep it sane in the bone dry. stupid comment, just a stupid comment..........:no:

A lot of cars do run straight pipes there. No matter if they do or not Matt's car was a lot quieter then many cars there and he was the only one targeted????? Those guys have something against newer cars. Even when Payam had his dual exhaust running through mufflers they told him he was too loud.:rolleyes:

the crew at mission is a old boys club, they cant stand to see youngsters running times that we do in our daily drivers.

and i dont know what matt meant by "conditions" but i drive extra cautiously in wet weather and wouldnt dream of trying to race, cant hook up.

road racign and AXing is another breed, takes a whole different set of driver skill compared to drag racing. but even then i dont know if id be up to AXing in wet weather makign a fool out of myself in a RWD car trying to manouver around a course.

dry weather though its open season on the highway and streets:D but im getting to old to be doign that too now.

yeah but the past few times ive shown up at river road the cops show up ten minutes later, or you get everyone parked and no one wants to race. not worht the gas to go out there. some days i feel like selling the bird and getting a impala ss or a mercury maurader and just cruising. but then ill spank someone with my stock lt1 and fall in love with it all over again.
