Quick question, do they run a true 1/4 mile (1320') or do they run a metric distance? A 1/4 mile would be close to 402 meters. Do they run a 1/4 Kilometer (250 meters)?
If I half *** understand what prostock_bigblock is trying to say, they have a ton of 7 and 8 second cars out there. I know there are a bunch of people in the middle east have a **** load of disposable income, but prostock_bigblock makes it seem like every other car is running 7's and 8's.

Haahahahah money talks man , ya i am sure about what i am talking about (i ment a 1\4 MILE 402meters , and what i like to mention , dragracing in gulf area is kind of old sport there , it started in mid 70s , and i no a lot of people focused their interests in 1 thing dragracing . so dont be confused man people there wants to enjoy their lives , and forget the damn influenced politics on them . in these countries you could find the worst traffic , everybody is speeding ,in weekends you can see a burnout in front of the traffic light you are in , also you could see ss v.s cobra in the other side of the street , racers are 24 hours in front of the enternet watching you guys in the U.S , and when i talk about 7 and 8s cars mostly you could find them in kuwait . PLLZZ guys i dont mean to say any wrong thing about you , because i live in the states and i am a part of this tremendous community and i dont want to see my second country 
U.S.A community no nothing about the other side of the world . thats my point guys..
thanks.

there are a couple of 7 and 8s cars in the gulf ,e.g in Saudiarabia i saw with my own eyes a 89 gt mustang with 632 ci chevy , and i saw on the heads the name and the signuture of BAT MOUSI (engine builder in U.S)on them , that car ran a 8 second. In United Arab of Emirates alot of Skylines reached the 9 and 8s and when i mean alot i really mean it . in kuwait i saw a stingray running a 7.89 . Why you are disapointed guys !??!?! arent you happy that some people try to do what you are doing?? there are no difference between you and them guys they could do more sometimes bcause of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ .

That mustang was transformed in the kingdom of Bahrain by a local mechanic
And for the 7 and 8 cars ............................well we have one low 6 sec car
And that a former pat mousI car should go lower because of the see level thing
Most Americans think that wee hate them ...........well my first car was a 2door 1979
Full size chevy which was stock till I started with the car thing till it died 7 years ago with 4 blown pistons it had a 360 ci chevy with brodix track 1 heeds tunnel ram
2 stage N.O.S trans break 3500 stall 4.56 in the back, then a bought a 1966 mustang
From Austin TX Which was restored to original spec and it was a show winner
My dally car was a 1987 full size with a tweaked 4.3L V6 and last a 98 Z28

wow.. thats pretty cool i guess.. where exactly is this in the middle east that ya'll are talking about?
surely not iraq?!!? jw, b/c there is a lot of turmoil or "people not liking other groups of people over there", and that is with or without the presence of americans..
in the middle east it seems u have a lot of poorer ppl and then a few lucky rich ppl.. but it would seem with all the outbreaks of fighting ect that take place, and with ya'lls less then democratic governments it would be hard to get a track built ect! so congrats on racing cars over there.. maybe more ppl will do that in iraq and take that up instead of crashing cars with bombs strapped to them into our tanks and hummers.

I really enjoy seeing drag racing in other parts of the World. I plan to race in Europe on my 40th birthday. Peurto Rico is also in the planning stages. And now I've heard about drag racing in the Middle East!
Take Care,

guys guys , plzz let make everything clear to you one more time , middleeast and ecpicially gulf area is not that bad as you think here in the states , Americans , i live here in the states , The American community and people in general are very kind ,people there in middleeast have more knowledge about you guys they know alot about you , your way of life , your country rules ...etc everything .
The big problem that u know nothing about them i can just hear that now from you guys , we have alot of people who are highly education e.g : most of my family members are boston and texas Am graduates , iraq is a another thing .
Your main big and serious problem here in the states guys is your media and information , your media is giving you a wrong info for politics reasons (i dont care about politics) ,but this is really a problem , because you have a wrong thoughts about us , in the states every useful info for the U.S people are blocked , News are completly different from there , there you can see the world very clearly with your own eyes , that was some american opinions who i am known with them , gulf area guys is another thing and iraq is another thing .
That is fact from your posts that you know nothing , so try to knowledge you selfs guys if you are interested . i am very sorry guys to say all that but pllz read , do anything i am very confused you know nothing , be open minded guys!!!!
You say guys that gulf have no money!!! do you know that only Saudiarabia own 11.4 % from your economy !!!! . Sorry to mention all these facts but you let me crazy guys
