The local drag strip is also a good place to go to see what the one guy working at night out of his garage can do with a stock vehicle. Drag racing accommodates all ranges of budgets better than any form of racing. The more you spend, the faster you go. They have head to head elimination series and bracket series racing where you essentially race yourself.


If you have young wanna be racers, drag racing is also relatively safe in the sportsman and bracket classes compared to oval or road racing. I let my son race in the sportsman class and wouldn't consider letting him on the local dirt track in a stock car.

Drags bore me, but I am never going to knock it for those who like it.

If my kids go racing, i am buying a purpose built chassis, built to spec. Last weekend, there were 3 nasty rollovers. the two purpose built guys were fine after wrecking at over 100 mph. The guy in the street car was fine, too, but then again I have never seen such a slow rollover.
