hahaha first time I was too chicken to race because I thought I would get my butt handed to me by a 2 liter Honda...but now I regretted not going before I sold the car...I will never know how fast my car was.

Doesn't mission still have those big concrete barriers around the track? So if you slide off you'll smash up your car.

yeah but in all honesty...nobody is ever really going down so fast that they lose control. I don't know about bikes, but cars usually self implode before doing a backflip. It's hard to get traction off the line...the pavement is like wet rubber.

i think she's referring to the closed circuit track, not the 1/4 mile strip?

kaydee, what car did you wish you had raced? and what car have you raced?

^ yea I did mean the track, not the strip. Personally, finding out my 1/4 mile time isn't that interesting to me beyond some mild curiosity; I'm more interested in things like turning.

i agree, anyone can drive in a straight line, but it takes a good driver to be able to get around the corners. i rather autocross/track than drag race.

did you make the buyer sign a clause that they have to be active members of CL?

LOL I did say get his butt on CL because he'd probably get a much more quality answer regarding the SC than say Revscene...but he's probably still figuring out the car.
