Drag racing, everything else is for those that enjoy the company of other men sexually

I hit circuit track. That's my favorite to watch and car to work on.

To do is a different story....drag racing is much cheaper and more accessible ......way easier and requires way less maintenance.

Autox is what I want to do the most......but not as accessible.

Drag only if its at the track. Guys here wanna dig run for 1 block. Not good enough for me. I'll take a roll, but my favorite is HPDE \ Road course.

Drag racing is what I'm most passionate about but I've done drag, Autox, road course and some drifting. I want to do some sort of rally racing at some point.
Really I just love to race, I'll race anything in any form of racing.

roadracing in cars, mountain road racing on sport bikes is my thing: no time attack, I live for the feeling of going up against someone and beating them through skill and practice, to see the anger and disbelief on there faces when they realize that they just aren't good enough to beat me. The car, in that instance, should preferably be something equal to or less then the capabilities of the car the other guy I'm beating is driving: I hate the "well of course you won, you were driving XXXX car".

Guess I'm a bit more in-your-face aggressive than most people. lol

Another vote for Drag Racing since I've never got to race on a road course.

Circuit track since it actually requires driving skill. I go to the drag strip maybe once a year to get a time but I get bored with it really quick. I do like some rolls though. Nice to let the car stretch it's legs.

drag.

track has more controlled conditions. track also allows comparisons over a set distance.


roll racing and track drag are totally different.

I want to change my selection after reading this post. I enjoy racing which requires a team effort, high-fives, hand-shakes and circle-jerks.



Serious note: I've always favored 1/4 mile drag racing, but I think I'd really like road course more if I were to try it.
