That's a lot of what the appeal is with modern musclecars and some restomods, they handle very well, stop well, and still go pretty damn well too.If for no other reason than there are lefts, rights and multiple stops on any drive I take, a road course build feels to me to be a better fit for a muscle car that you can drive. Certainly there are limits and it can still be more race car than street car, but a narrow focus drag car slows once and then has to make a single turn.
Doesn't mean I don't also want to build a dual purpose street/strip car. Something like a Challenger 1320 in an old school body would be cool.
No doubt drag racing is a blast, I've always enjoyed it too, even though my fastest time ever was a 13.46, it's always a rush. Winning an autocross event is just as exciting, especially when you're a dark horse coming from the back of the pack.
I prefer road course driving, but agree with drag racing, there is more on the line "in the moment"...if You take a couple of bad lines, it's not over unless You go off course & damage Your car or Yourself, You still have a shot of winning/getting back in the hunt...each drag run is one-shot at it at a time.
Yeah, I was a bit surprised He pulled that move, glad He kept it straight!!!
