clarification:
I'm not downing on drag racing in any way. I have alot of respect for people who do it, like anything else in life, properly (not idiots racing on the streets), I'm just saying it doesn't appear to be a major intrest to a majority of the "club" here. I don't know if that makes me sound like any less of a *****, but, I felt it was worth saying... the previous post was a bit harsh now that I look back at it.

If there was a drag racing section i would go on it, if there was a auto x section i would go on that too. I'm pretty sure theres a lot of drag racers on this forum. Look at how many slips there are.

. Over time I was able to get my 60 fts down to about 2.0 secs or so on street tires, which seems about average for FDs

Fix your car, you will go faster! ???? hhhmmmm why do people race there cars when there broke? in the long run you will brake it and then you cant race... why no just fix it, and then race it? thats why there is so many FD's in this forum that need serious help. you take care of your car and it's going to last alot longer. just my 2 cents

.I have never raced my car when it's broken. My poor times ***5 years agp*** were due to driver inexperience.
Anyone that has seen my FD in person knows it is one of the cleanest and tastefully modded ones around, with no expense spared in the build up. Thanks for your 2 cents tho
