NO Offense to the speed demons,but I'd say that Most guys prefer to drive their car more than 1/4 mile in a straight line??
I give the guys props for being able to squeeze power out of the car and handle it,but honestly not all of us can afford the luxury of having a **** load of cash sitting on a trailer.
I know I am one of the "busted *** broke/living day to day" guys.Just keeping the car on the road right now is a handful!

There were some (like me) who posted prostreet cars/all out drag cars/ etc... It should be, as in the past, where people can share ideas of "hot rodding" their rotary-powered cars. From fab work, port work, tuning, boost control strategies off and on the strip. Different ideas help in research & development of these cars. The more people share their hardware combinations and results achieved, the less likely day-to-day guys (as u mentioned) will need to test or cross that bridge.

not sure what you are trying to say? the drag section has always been for 1/4 mile guys. just most don't post on here anymore. myself, bacon, doc holiday, Anthony Nyc , roan , turbo tommy and Allen all are still hard into it and we all speak daily just not on here

Maybe, but who knows, if new comers start posting, maybe the old school guys will post again; or maybe the new comers will become the new (and improved) generation JK!

I cant say that I will be a new comer, and even if I get to it, it wont be at the same level as the old school guys...
