Default Drag & Brag This Friday
Anyone going to the Drag & Brag this Friday at Texas Motor Speedway? I think I'm going to take my car out there and test it out. I never went last year but it looks like it's pretty fun. Not sure yet on if I want to run on my Slicks or DR's...

It's not that bad!
I took my old car out there and won outlaw last year.
I did have to pedal it a bit, but it wasn't that bad with 500-600rwhp.

Sounds good.
If you go, I will probably come out there with you.
It was pretty fun.
Yes, all you win is a trophy and an interview.

I remember seeing the blue twin turbo HPP GT out there. I'm not sure what he was making but he damn near hit the wall.

Manual car? I made a couple of passes down hwy 10 last night and my drag radials held up pretty good. Now my slicks on the other hand are useless on the street. Do you know what type and size tire they were using?
