My Dart Vs C5 Corvette RESULTS

Seriously, despite all the defense by thrashhard340, take it to the track. If you are complaining about driving 70 miles to a sanctioned dragstrip to do this legally and at a timed venue then you really don't have a street car, and you should have a trailer to go along with it. Just so you know I am not the pot calling the kettle black. No more than 8 years ago I traveled with my high 12 low 13 second Demon to Richmond Virginia from Columbus Oh. This was a 4.10 geared car. Was very easy to switch from a 235/75/15 tire to my 235/60/15 wheels once I got there. Lowered the RPM by 400 at 65mph. That was a 10 hour plus trip so there are no excuses, it can be done. I also feel fortunate to have 5 race tracks within 1 hour of me, but 70 miles on freeways is just over 1 hour. Sorry to rant, but I agree an accident at the race track does not draw the media attention that those on the track do.

Good points. And you are right as well. It can be done. Is it practical? Not really. Drags are Wednesday nights. Traffic is lousy @ 6 PM the drive to the track would be closer to 90 minutes. I work on Thursdays. Why go through all this inconvenience when I can set something up in my backyard? I save the gas money it would take to get a 4.10 geared car to the track and back. (BTW, I mix 100 with 91). AND now I don't need to buy and store a trailer.

Seriously, I love going to the racetrack. It's my first choice. I agree that STREET RACING IS DANGEROUS AND ILLEGAL. That is why I devised the methods mentioned in my previous post. I wish I had 5 racetracks in my area to choose from. Unfortunately, I do not.

This will be my last rant on the subject. I believe there are others that feel the way I do and should offer their opinions. I'm sure you guys are sick of hearing from me by now.:vom:

Just out of curiousity 69dodgedart360, where did you guys run?
