Plus street and track are two different things. Most people bank on the car that runs hard at the track to spin on the street and for the car that has less power to hook hard and win over the more powerful car.

When you want someone to race you at the track first you have to wait til the track day for the track to be open before you can go, then all the days that go by before the track opens your opponent is tweaking their car to run faster or they could be doing a motor swap on you and then you are assed out of luck.

If you challenge their *** right then and there they have to run what they have. No time to change anything on the car.

Before anybody starts talking about safety, its the racers choice to be out there and the same goes for the spectators. We have a safe spot to race, no side streets, all concrete, four lanes wide, and the cops help block off the street sometimes

Yup definitely out-matched in all categories against that car, but I'm not worried about it.

Heck yah man, im excited to see it with the new combo. Your ability to hook and moveout so good with a small tire on the street has always amazed me. Your car spooling up at the line sounds like a large airplane taking off.
