View Full Version : Favorite full scale racing?
Drag racing is on right now and that go me thinking. My favorite racing would be MotoCross. Not SX, but MX. Followed by Flat Track and TT. Hard to tell Im a Motorcycle nut huh? :D
As far as cars go, top fuel dragsters babY! 7000 HP Nitro Methane ROCKETS!
Nascar? HECK NO! If I want to see oval racing, Ill throw a handfull of packing peanuts into the toilet, and flush.
I like sprint cars on dirt though. F1 on road course? Yea, thats cool.
What yall like?

Did I forget...BIG OR LITTLE?
There will always be a place in my heart for NHRA Drag Racing - buddy of mine and I used to head out to Baytown on Friday nights for grudge racing. hehehehe
Lately I have taken a likeing to NASCAR though - yeah they just go round and round, but maybe its the speeds they hit in those turns.
Aside from that, my buddy that I mentioned above is in SCCA and that is awesome! Kind of like going from off-road to on-road - totally different than the straight drags we used to do. Wouldn't mind growing up to that one day. HAHA!!
PD2:cool:
I want a Harley Davidson.

As long as it's on dirt I'm in. Latemodel first (nothing like 3 wheeling down the straight), Then a good IMCA type modified show (driving a mod on three wheel is an absolute blast). Sprints are cool because of the speed but the racing just isn't there, most of the time it's single file. But if the track has two grooves it can be really good. I like all forms of auto racing, just prefer dirt.
Anybody watch the NHRA coverage yesterday. Rod Fuller won TF, that team is based out of Houston, there shop is on Grant Rd. They just hired Lee Beard and he turned that program around. WJ lost on another holeshot by the same guy this week that put him out last week. :)

Has anyone seen concrete crack racing. Usually while hanging around in the ole days while partaking we,d pick out a crack and mark it. Everytime we,d come back we,d mark the progress.You,d be surprised how fast they move. I gotta say though that my favorite is F1 and then RC.Nothing else does it for me now.

Slightly. Superchargers can do that. :)

No I don't. It's about to go under the knife actually (as soon as I get up and about today) to receive a new set of aluminum heads and a manifold anyway.

Cars come and go. I traded the Camaro in on a 4x4 pickup. It was a low 11 second car, but daily driving your race car is just a bad idea. Now I have a daily driver and the race car sits in the garage during the week.
