Seattle. You want to follow the Mello Yellow series, and they will be there at Pacific Raceways August 5-7. You can also look into the Lucas Oil series to find Top Alcohol Dragsters. Not quite as fast or loud, but they still run low 5 second 1/4 mile passes at over 270 mph.

Paul Page hasn’t been the announcer for years. It isn’t the same on TV though, I’ll give you that.

But when it is parked next to an F12 like I saw the other day, you just can’t help but think “haha...he has the cheap Ferrari that was made for women.”

You’ve clearly never been to a NASCAR race. Take a look in the stands you moron.

Nope. Some of us own items that require the owning of a truck. Until an M3, Prius, or the like can tow the race car in the enclosed trailer, the boat, and the ATVs into the woods, I’ll be owning a truck.

Have you ever merged onto an interstate from a stop having a short onramp? That’s what 0-60 is useful for. You can have an idea if you’re going to be at speed at the end of the on ramp, under speed, or if you have more than enough.

Thank you for mentioning Knoll Gas. I was hoping someone already had. Glad to see another NHRA fan on here. We have had quite a few characters funding NHRA teams over the years. I remember the CMKX cars, all of Ashley’s pro Mods, and I’m pretty sure Knoll is still in prison.

The sheikh is a whole different story. They…

Sold my wife’s old car this way. Put 33 pictures on craigslist of it, picture of every flaw it had, described it to the fullest, and put a price up. Car was sold the next day for asking price.

Me too. Still do. Don’t care.

I could explain it to you guys, but you don’t really care about the reason.

No Neon had power rear windows.

And then the employer fired the assailant. There was no discrimination going on. BBC hired him, he got “verbally assaulted” in addition to being punched and they fired the person who did it. Pretty clear case that the employer took appropriate action.

Yep. Any many times those sponsors are family businesses.

In most forms of motorsports today, the drivers bring their own money to be able to have the ride. NASCAR, NHRA, sports cars, all of it.

I disagree on you saying it doesn’t jive with modifying. That would be the same as saying the military can’t train someone who never shot a gun to be a marksman in a short period of time. It can. The whole point is theory of the modifications, what works/doesn’t, engine theory, etc. These are all things you don’t need…

Fuck whoever ruined that Demon like that. With a cactus.

Weight doesn’t affect top speed. At all. Weight affects how long it takes you to get to top speed.

And what V8 do you propose Chrysler put in it? The 5.2L (318) that made 230 hp, the 4.7L that made 230 hp, or the 360 that made 245 hp? Those were the choices that Chrysler had available. The 3.5 was a damn good motor in its day, and nearly everyone was using 4 speed automatics at that point.

Everything is fast enough to redlight in. Granted, I have a couple thousand passes under my belt in everything from a 95 Ram 2500 diesel to a built drag car, but I swear I could redlight in a cruise ship given the opportunity. In short, if you don’t redlight once in a while, you’re probably losing quite a lot.

How has nobody said Hot Rod magazine Drag Week cars yet? 6 second 1/4 mile times at 200+, tow their own support gear over 1000 miles to 5 different tracks.
