I am not sure if I have seen it around. I have been seeing a few more running around as of late. I felt like I was the only guy in town for a while. Not so much anymore.

I have a textrilla sitting in a box at the house. I have not had race in months. I really don't hook up with the street crowd. Every once and a while I run into someone that is feeling itchy but it has been a while. I think the Corsa runs a lot of people off.

I like dig racing as much as anyone but if you really wanna see who has the faster car, thats when highway runs come in.

Dig racing is about who catches traction, highway is about who has the faster car.

You can have 600HP ls1 get killed from a dig by a 400 ls1 because he cant catch traction, but on the highway you gonna see which one is really faster.

Yeah that is true but what happens when they both catch traction? It is the same out come from a roll. You also put two different cars with two different power levels. Lets try 2 somewhat even cars. My cousin has a camaro putting down 353 at the wheels thru an auto, I had a c6 vette putting 360 to the wheels thru a 6 spd. From a dig he is waxing my *** and he has stock suspension and street tires. From a roll we are eye to eye and he pulls away from me at 145 mph. Camaro is faster with less power. We can argue this until we are blue in the face so lets not. You are right about the traction thing but no matter from a roll or dig, if everything goes right the more than likely the faster car will win.

I was on my way home last night. Two TAs flew by my *** on the westbank express way, heading towards the bridge. It was somewhere around 11:45. Anyone here?
