strip newbie Me and some friends went to the strip the other night, ive never raced at a track of any kind, and ive only raced from a dig a couple times since ive owned my f-bodys...i didnt end up racing that night...i dont know y, i just got nervous...im not to great at launching without spinning like crazy seeing as how 98% of my races are from a roll...plus im worried about breaking stuff mostly...im worried about snappin the rear-end, i doubt i have enough power to do so but these rear-ends are pretty weak from what i hear so that was in the back of my mind the whole time...i cant afford to break anything financially...so my ? is what are the odds i will break if i do race at the track? also im on shitty street tires

The odds of breaking the rear with a stock auto car are pretty low (but not completely out of the question).
You've said that you can't afford to break anything financially - then don't race - ever
Sooner or later, you'll have to pay to play

hes right.... but we all just hope its later not sooner lol
I have a rather expensive BBC on the floor of my garage right now that trashed the cam.
Next motor will cost me about 10k for the motor alone not including a more built tranny to handle it or a glide and the fuel system.
If you don't want to break something then dont race. In my last car I hurt stuff just roll racing or from moding.
A local buddy just trashed his 10 bolt with 3.42's on the street with NITTO's (crapy drag radial), he is only runing mid 13's. Anything can happen.
