just was wondering which you guys think is better? drag strips or street racing

gamby

Drag racing is better because you have no fear of cops, a safety crew on hand, no possibility of killing anyone but yourself, and any punks (i.e. idiots doing donuts) are nonexistent.

maxim

by far it's the drag strip: safer, no obstacles, and potentially only one person will die if you mess up

Besides, at the track you get numbers as a result. That way you'll know what aspects of your racing you'll have to work on such as r/t, 60 ft, etc.

Definately the track. You get the lowdown on other cars' times, and you get to test your own driving abilities. Street racing can be fun, but thats mainly just an ego thing IMO.

I would have to agree, street racing is all ego, but fun...if you know there are no cops around.

Personally i think drag and Auto X is the way to go .. DRag doesnt take as much skill as Auto Xing but it is still fun. Street racin i do everynow and then when i see a good match up at a stop light .. I do have a few tickets so i try to stay on the track if you know what i mean. Attending Auto X this weekend actually..

Civic Girl and i are gonna rip **** up !!!!

those are just my opinions

circuit, twisties, street.... i that!!! takes a little more skill than driving in a straight line. dont get me wrong, i used to be at palmdale every friday night, but now id rather hit angeles forest hwy to rip her *** there instead.

I think that dragging takes as much skill as Auto Xing, just a different kind of skill...

Racing should be kept on the track. I know this cause I just got back from traffic court for a speeding ticket i got, I was doing 41 miles over the speed limit. When you street race, you disregard your safety and the safety of others.

to above statement...i saw first hand last weekend, a jackass went through a concrete wall with 3 passengers. drank a little before that, decided to pass me and my friend, ran a red light, freaked out, slammed on the brakes, flew over the curb, went through the wall, car got stuck in the middle totaled, girl passenger went into shock....my friend & i were about to beat him and his friend down, too bad the cops got there before we got a chance.

you sound like you's been reformed

I have to agree with the drag strip. Not only do you get to race in an organized safe way but you actually have time slips to guage your improvement. In either case keep it safe out there.

Drag racing takes no skill unless you have a fast car (13sec or faster). AutoX takes skill no matter what you drive.

I've taken guys who supposedly had "SKILLS" on the drag track, and watched them knock over 20+ cones AutoXing in one run. And I've seen AutoX drivers take their bone stock cars to the legal Drags, and break fools off.

Either way, keep it off the streets.
