jus wanted to see a line up of H-T members that are gonna make it for the drag war in november....

 

Sounds like a wrestling match.

 

nah dude it's import vs domestic drag races at budds creek, MD
r u goin?

 

Not that its a bad thing or less of a sport, there arent too mant drag racers in this forum, even though the description lists it.

We welcome drag racers...just arent too many of them that post here.

 

i see, i see
may'b i should haul my *** outta here eh?

 

I wouldn't think that. I have actually been wondering for a good part of the day (after seeing D Bell launch off the line at RA) how advantageous some drag racing would be for launching from a Standing Start in a road race. Seems to me that nailing the technique for the 60' (that's right no?) would be spot on as far as getting the jump.

BTW, "drag my ***" would have been exceedingly more funny

 

I might go if my civic is ready, since I will be off and don't think there will be any Summit point runs......

Thanks,

In case my leap of logic didn't make sense . . . since NASA uses standing starts and since ECHC will run with NASA, I thought it might be something (if advantageous) that several ECHCers might check out. Can you run a non-streetable car at one of these? I would assume so but just wanted to confirm.

 

on the contrary...I hope you stay... I said " not that its lesser of a sport"

We all could learn.

 

I think that would be rather funny going down the drag strip in the wrong rollcage Na, I won't be going.. Have fun though

 

My very limited understanding is that the rollcage is only necessary for certain times and/or speeds. That is correct right? If I am correct on this, I wouldn't think even the fastest H1 machine would be reaching that. I think my sister's boyfreind told me what he would need a cage for vs. what he was running in an extremely stout T/A and the numbers seemed pretty disparate. Ergo, he wouldn't be getting there without some degree of help from Nitrous.

Correct me please fellas cause I am sans clue on this but wouldn't mind knowing should I check it out.

 

I'm thinking you only need a cage if you can pull sub 12-second runs in the quarter.

 

Agreed it would be funny. Probably even funnier that I'd easily be one of the slowest cars down the track and stickered up to boot. I'd have to put on some magnetics that say something like "Prepped for a different activity, don't laugh too hard!" Then again, if drag racers are cut from the same cloth, I would assume it would be a pretty understanding crowd - just wouldn't bring a fire suit or driving shoes to exacerbate the laughability.

 

Not the same crowd.... definitely not the same crowd....

It's like a different world out there. Most of the ricer's running around our streets will go to try their best to challenge the tree of lights for a good run. I've been active a long time ago in drag racing, but as I grew older, I wanted to get out of that scene. I still have my civic, and would like to see what it could do for last years winter dyno of 326 whp, 251 torque. It would make me happier before I sell it to see a good run. More less just for kicks.... I still want to see George's expression to this type of crowd. I think it would be very interesting to him to watch and consume it all in! This one won't be as big since it's an import vs domestic race. Peter Farrell used to run this one in his road racing RX-7, lol.

Thanks,

I don't discriminate too much....I'll probably have nothing better to do that day, and perhaps swing on down to Southern MD to check out some assorted humanity, a bunch of 16 second Civics, some faster cars with driver's that have trouble launching, and some turbo Buicks. ( ) And then I'll go stand in front of Victor's Civic and gaze into it's engine compartment for half an hour or so.

 

I think I'll go. I've always wanted to see what kind of E/Ts and traps this new motor pulls, but never could make it to MIR's Midnight Madness. And hopefully all the domestics there won't be running 13s and under, like maybe tame N/A Neons and Foci I could supprise.

 

Hey MJ...I'm most likely going. I'm quitting my job...woohoo!

I just wanna see some domestic iron in action at least once in my life...

And how about we start going to some Solo II events? Maybe next season?

where are the solo events around here?....

 

Around NOVA.

Let's start next season.

 

Many of us started out drag racing, but eventually one gets tired of just flooring it in a strait line.
